Equipment Information

Soo Line 41146 is a standard boxcar built for general freight service over the Soo Line system in the upper Midwest. It is a “single-sheathed” car, built with exposed structural members and only a single layer of siding. This type of car was known as a “saw tooth” car due to the appearance of the framing along the bottom of the car.
