Tangent - PC “Delivery X-60-R 2-1970” Greenville 86′ Quad Plug Door Box Car

Penn Central (PC) “Delivery X-60-R 2-1970” offers another big paint scheme. A big PC logo dominates the center of these cars, with a stacked “Penn Central” on the far left. Fans of the Penn Central expect the best from Tangent, and they aim to deliver just that. This 1970-built Greenville group features accurate End-of-Car Cushioning details, Gypsum crossover platforms and truck mounted brake hardware. This X-60-R order rides on 70-Ton Barber S-2 Birdsboro Roller Bearing Trucks, with 33” wheels and accurate rotating “Brenco-6” roller bearing caps. These cars were part of the GM Lansing Stamping Plant car pool, with a return-when-empty stencil the GTW in Lansing, Michigan.
