bcol2126_NVancouverBC_4+1976_sstyles

British Columbia Railway combination boxcar/hopper #2126 was photographed at North Vancouver, BC in April of 1976 by S. Styles. Information in print about these cars point to them being a joint venture between the Milwaukee Road and BCOL to improve haulage efficiency - taking lumber east and grain west using the same car. Built in 1969 as Milwaukee #1, ownership eventually was transferred to the BCOL, seeing the car renumbered. There was another, smaller car (#2) built simultaneously. This is another unique prototype that could make a phenomenal 3D-printed offering.
