Great Northern 40' Double Door Box Car #3345 Circus Series #4

Great Northern

Circus Series #4

Roadnumber 3345

This 40’ standard box car with double doors is grey with red/orange lettering and runs on Bettendorf
trucks. In an effort to develop a new paint scheme, Great Northern decorated a number of box cars in
different experimental paint schemes in 1956 and sent them across the GN network for feedback. Due to
the bright and gaudy colors, this group of cars were dubbed the “Circus Cars”.
