SBD 762575

This car started out as a typical 40’ box car, made for carrying general goods. When made obsolete by larger cars with greater capacity, it was not uncommon for these cars to be repurposed for other uses on the railroad. Such was the case for this boxcar, as it was fitted with extra doors and windows to become a Bunk Car for the L&N’s Maintenance of Way department (MoW). When track crews would have to spend days at a time repairing track or wayside infrastructure, the bunk car would be their overnight place of rest.
