Bachmann N 18256 40' Hi-Cube Outside-Braced Box Car, Northern Pacific #659997

First developed in the second half of the 20th century, Hi-Cube Box Cars were designed with higher ceilings to increase the per-car capacity of freight trains and to allow for the loading of larger items. The cars depicted by our models were a common sight on US railroads between the late 1960s and 1990s, however, the use of Hi-Cube Box Cars has steadily increased in the 21st Century.
