Berwick 50' Boxcar - Ready to Run - Master(R) -- Illinois Central Gulf #501372 (orange, black)

This detailed, ready-to-run Atlas Master HO Scale Berwick 50' Boxcar is ideal for your 1970s and later freight consists. In 1972, Berwick Forge & Fabricating, of Berwick, Pennsylvania began producing modern 50' sliding door boxcars which featured their new corrugated non-terminating "sine-wave" ends. Initially sold to over 35 railroads across the nation, these boxcars were an unfortunate casualty of the economic recession of the late 1970s and Berwick was forced to stop production in 1982. However, Berwicks 50' hauler found a place in railroad history through a strong second-hand market that continues even today. This model features an injection-molded body, accurate decoration, appropriate trucks and Accumate(R) couplers. The Berwick 50' Boxcar is one of many Atlas HO Scale boxcars.
