The Soo Line acquired five 86' high cube boxcars in 1970 that were originally operated by the Ann Arbor Railroad. They were a mixture of Greenville and Thrall-built cars. It appears that they were originally procured to participate in an auto parts pool hauling stamped metal parts. By 1980, these cars were no longer on the roster and presumably, were working for another road in similar service. Photo of #169004 taken in Milpitas, CA in January of 1972 by an unknown photographer.
