Rapido PCF 5317 CuFt Boxcar, Berlin Mills, as-delivered, Road Number 206

Rapido Berlin Mills Railway PCF 5317 CuFt boxcar, road number 206. 

Berlin Mills purchased 300 of these 5317 Cubic-Foot boxcars from PCF in July-August of 1979. Built in Renton, WA, the cars were seen all over the country from coast to coast, hauling New England paper products across North America. You can still see these cars in service today, patched for new ownership, as they roll out their final miles in revenue service before their date with the scrapper, as they age out on the 50-year rule.
