This 40’ standard box car with double doors is brown with large white 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”
