Missouri Pacific (as delivered) 86' quad door boxcar #272017

Missouri Pacific received this group from Pullman Standard in February of 1965. Like most auto parts boxcars, these were part of a multi-railroad, multi-plant pool with this group assigned for loading at a Chevy plant on the GTW in Flint, Michigan. MP was the only railroad to also stencil the road number on the left door so it can be identified when the open door covered the regular road number stencil on the car side.
