Mel, I really don't have a clue what service those cars were in. I just liked the lettering scheme and it's my only C&EI car. However, I hope it's a standard boxcar because I have too many express cars the way it is.

I have a C&EI boxcar which is a Pacific Rail 40' car(not sure what style however) with a Viking roof. Mine has the "Buy War Bonds"logo in large script. I don't know if that is what they mean. The Viking roof breaks up the usual pattern of roofs in a yard view.

Perusing the Des Plaines site, I noticed a "modified" C&EI boxcar listed for sale on the last page of freight cars. Anyone know what the "Modified" refers to, i.e. how this car is different?

Thanks,
