This orange 40' hy-cube box car with single door has black lettering and black and white split rail IC logo and runs on black Roller Bearing trucks. It boasts "Cushion Underframe" in white and the slogan "Illinois Central Mainline of Mid America" in black. 40' hy-cubes were specifically designed for use in large appliance service and were assigned to specific appliance corporations, Whirlpool, Admiral, Philco, etc. The mini hy-cube phase was short lived, and was quickly overshadowed by longer and bigger cars.
