Lettering set for GN’s truss-rod boxcars - 1939-1948 scheme

Part Number: GN-1c

Price: $8.50

Beginning in 1901 and through 1917, Haskel & Barker built 16,781 truss-rod wood 40-ton boxcars for the G.N. Amazingly quite a number remained in revenue service into the 1950’s.

Series 3000 - 7999, 5,000 cars

Series 13000-17276, 4,276 cars

Series 26000-27249, 1,250 cars

Series 32000-37154, 5,154 cars

Series 8900 - 8999, 100 cars (with hopper bottoms)

Series 9000 - 9999, 1,000 cars (with steel ends)

In 1939, a smaller side facing goat with the car side color or sometimes a black background and a tighter lettering arrangement design was applied during the repaint schedule. Cars were painted GN’s standard mineral brown, including truck sideframes (wheels unpainted).
