Built
by Evans in 1979 for the Lake Erie, Franklin & Clarion Railroad
Company, this 50' boxcar with Roller Bearing trucks was used in
the Incentive Per Diem program. To encourage the return of the boxcars,
short line railroads, like Port Huron, could charge a per diem,
or daily fee, until the cars were returned. Eventually, the car,
in
original paint, made its way to the Seminole Gulf Railway. Founded
in 1987, the Seminole Gulf is a short line freight and passenger
excursion railroad operating out of Fort Myers, Florida.
