NW boxcar 56159 (RB14053)

Mike:

That is the standard font for NS freight cars. At some point, post 1982, the reporting mark and the first digit of the road number needed to be replaced.

Hope this helps.

I have a model of this boxcar.  I looked it up in the Archives but it found 556159.  The first 5 looks different than the other numbers.  Was it renumbered for MOW work?  What other history does anyone know?
Thank you,
Mike Shockley
