This 60' 8" Thrall® centerbeam flat car has large black "MILWAUKEE ROAD" lettering and runs on black Barber roller bearing trucks. Thrall Manufacturing Co. built this 100 car series for Milwaukee Road in February and March of 1977. They were acquired by the Soo Line in the mid 1980s, which was not quick to repaint. The "CHTT" in the consolidated stencil box signifies that this car was first run by the 'Chicago Heights Transfer Terminal Railroad' serving the Thrall plant. These cars were from a design used by Canadian National and centerbeam cars soon became an industry standard due to the ease loading and securing lumber loads. WP was one of the first roads to use this new design.
