Notes

Freight car of the Boxcar type of the USA from Railbox from era III-IV. The car has 4 axles and has a total length of 18.6 cm.

The model is orange in color with a silver roof. The text Pacific Fruit Express is printed in black letters on the side. The model is equipped with Relex couplings

History:
The boxcar is an icon of American freight transport by rail. The boxcar reigned for the most part over a period of 150 years, as an integral part of daily rail traffic. Only during the last two decades of the twentieth century did the boxcar decline in importance for freight transportation in America.

Unlike the flatcar and the gondola, both of which had their origins in England, the boxcar appears to be largely an American phenomenon. Unlike the flatcar and the gondola, both of which had their origins in England, the boxcar appears to be largely an American phenomenon. Initially, flatcars and gondolas dominated the railway scene, but Americas harsh weather conditions, combined with the high number of fire incidents caused by wood-burning locomotives, spurred the development of boxcars.
