Up until a few years ago the Pullman-Standard and American Car & Foundry built 60’ Auto Parts Box Cars could be seen in freight trains on the Canadian National’s Grand Trunk Western mainline.

What is the 2010 status of the late 1960’s P-S, ACF 60’ Auto Parts Box Cars?

Where have they been sent to?

How many have been scrapped?

What company scrapped them?

The are more than likely SCRAPPED. There is a 40 year service life for Interchange cars so they are over that and would be unable to be interchanged anymore. Unless they got a Waiver from the FRA.

Are there some old railyards full of 60’ Auto Parts Box Cars somewhere?
