Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) “Original 1969” offers one of the most iconic railroad logos so frequently seen on freight cars over the decades: the B&O Capitol Dome logo. Representing B&O’s first order of cars, which were initially assigned to Pontiac service, these cars also include the glorious yellow “script” “Cushion Underframe” stenciling so commonly found on the railroad’s pre-Chessie boxcars. All of that beautiful B&O car data is present, from the intricate “Cushion Underframe” script to the tiniest “Freightmaster” branded cushioning badge on the end of the car. This 1969-built Greenville car features accurate Apex style crossover platforms and a Universal hand brake housing. Check out those 100-Ton “Low Profile” Barber S-2-C Roller Bearing Trucks, with 36” wheels and accurate Timken rotating caps. We are pleased to offer six B&O numbers in the railroad’s classy blue scheme with yellow stenciling.
