Transportation
During the early years of railroading, the box car was an important car on all freight trains, used to carry many types of freight either in cartons or in bulk. Most box cars have since been replaced by trailer containers on flat cars. Box Car #411 is an all-steel type built for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in 1927, and after the Arcade & Attica purchased it in 1967, it was used to transport products for the Bordens Co. of Arcade to many places around the U.S.
