The extensive railroad conglomerate operates primarily in the southeastern United States and comprises multiple road names. The railroad also hauls a wide variety of traffic from intermodal to coal and aggregates to general merchandise making this CNCF 5000 a perfect fit on any layout!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Prototype: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNearly 1,500 Mexican built CNCF 5000 Boxcars were ordered by U.S. railroads in the late 1970s as part of the “IPD” incentive per diem boxcar boom. This was the peak of U.S. modern freight car production, however it wasn’t just limited to the U.S. builders as multiple U.S. railroads opted to purchase the 70-ton 50-foot boxcar from the Mexican freight car builder CNCF. Thousands more CNCF 5000 boxcars would be built for Mexico’s national railways in the 1980s as well. These 5000 cubic foot boxcars still roam the rails of U.S., Canada, and Mexico to this day. The CNCF 5000 has many unique spotting features from the triangular supports above the door post, to the wrapped end sheets and the sharp notches in the sill near the stirrups. This iconic boxcar is a must have for any model railroader focused between the late 1970s and present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuilt Date: 12-1986\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe HO-Scale Atlas Master Line CNCF 5000 boxcar features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady-to-run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull under body detail with brake rigging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied wire grabs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed end ladders and brake gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate painting and printing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlackened metal wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMultiple Variations Include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 body styles: Early with bolts, late welded body (2 side slides)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 end slide styles: standard 3 sheet Dreadnaught end, Bifurcated “X” pattern end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Door styles: Youngstown, Youngstown w\/pick lever, Modified Youngstown, Superior and ICG shop Door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Homeshops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54146817655059,"sku":"GARD 606142","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9283\/4323\/files\/HomeshopsAtlasGARD.png?v=1778679774","url":"https:\/\/southeasthobbies.com\/products\/homeshops-atlas-ho-scale-gard606142-cncf-5000-boxcar-georgia-road-606142","provider":"SoutheastHobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
