Baltimore & Ohio Boxcar 385897

Built in 1941 for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to transport items that needed to be covered. In 1981, this boxcar was retired and donated to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum, while a new form of transportation called “intermodal” had been invented. Inter refers to the change of, and modal refers to being transported by road, rail, or water. Another term for trailer on flat cars (TOFC) is called “piggybacking”. Today, this Boxcar is displayed in the parking lot.
