On this page see a picture from the Stan Short Collection of a similar box car sitting at the Newtown Square PRR Freight Station back when the line was active.

This particular box car was given to us by the National Park Service’s Railroad Museum called Steamtown which is located in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
