Norfolk Southern 60' excess height double plug door waffle side boxcar #655819

This 7,167 cubic-foot BP-60-class double-door boxcar with Barber Roller Bearing trucks was built in the late 1970s for Conrail, and later obtained by Norfolk Southern. Founded in 1982 through the mergers of Norfolk & Western and the Southern Railway, Norfolk Southern grew further in the late 1990s with the acquisition of just over half of the trackage and assets of Conrail Corporation. Today, NS is one of the largest Class 1 Railroads with over 30,000 employees and operates nearly 22,000 miles of track in the Eastern and Midwestern United States.
