All metal components -- including the frame, door guides, brake wheel, couplers, wheels and axles -- are equally clean and free of rust and oxidation. Features of the box car include:
- Type III body mold
- Blue painted body

Also included with this freight car is a complete original box with all six original flaps as well as the front perforated panel. The front panel has been reinforced with glue, but it is not very obvious when looking at the box plus several flaps have clear tape on the interior. Overall, a gorgeous freight car that does not often appear for sale in high grade collector condition.
