Bluford Shops N: Union Pacific 86' AP Boxcar (1966)

This batch of cars appeared on the UP in the summer of 1966 in this paint scheme. The shield includes the word RAILROAD which was standard for UP in the 60s. This batch also included the small version of the reporting marks. The automated rail way logo had evolved over the years with this version featuring a more playful lettering style, larger map, and CUSHIONED LOAD replacing CUSHION RIDE. These cars were initially assigned for loading at a Chevy plant on the New York Central in Cleveland.
