Built in 1916 for the Canadian Northern Railway, the box car was assigned to Vancouver Island in the late 1930's and used in freight service on the Cowichan and Tidewater subdivisions.

In the late 1950's the box car was assigned to Deerholme where it served for many years as a stores and equipment car. It was withdrawn from service in March 1988 and was hauled to Lake Cowichan on that date and donated to the Kaatza Historical Society.

This box car was restored in 2013, by a Cowichan Lake Education Centre crew, with funding provided by the Government of Canada, the Province of British Columbia, and the Town of Lake Cowichan, through the Job Creation Partnership, using materials provided by the Kaatza Historical Society.
