? Wabash Boxcars series #86000-86874

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks for the info! I didn't even think about them being converted to MOW cars in the 70's, I'll bet they were, seems I've seen a pic of an N&W MOW car with 5/5 Dreadnaught ends. Jim, I'd love to see that pic of ex-NKP #219424!

Dave,
 
They were assigned N&W Class B25; since they were acquired after the 1964 merger, they could have appeared in the scheme with the large hamburger herald on the left side above the reporting marks, with the roadname stacked on the right side.  I have a  photo of ex-NKP 219424 which is the 37 AAR design in this scheme.  Also possible scheme is the car was painted black with the large NW markings.  These cars were built in the 1942-44 era, so I would imagine all were out of interchange service by the mid-90s; possible some were converted for MoW service, but I don't know that for certain.

Was wondering if any pictures exist on ex-Wabash 40' AAR boxcars in N&W service? These cars were 40' 1937 AAR's with 5/5 Dreadnaught ends, the number series was #86000 to 86874 which would make them N&W #386xxx's. I am wanting to convert a couple of Athearn 40' boxcars of these in N&W service, so I'd like to know the assigned boxcar class, when retired, and possibly what paint schemes they wore. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
Dave Grigsby
