Signage at the display provides for following information about this boxcar:
"Boxcar #411, 40 Ft. long, 3056 cubic ft. capacity
An important car on all freight trains during the early years of railroading was the "box car". These cars were used to carry any type of freight, either in cartons or in bulk. Today, most box cars have been replaced by trailer containers on flat cars. #411 is an all steel type built for the Baltimore Ohio Railroad in 1927. Purchased by the Arcade & Attica in 1967, it was used to transport producets for the Bordens Co. for Arcade to many places around the U.S."
In addition to this boxcar, there is also a cupola style caboose and a diesel engine.
