Port Huron & Detroit
Road Number PHD 1042
PER DIEM SERIES #12
This 50’ rib side box car with single door and no roofwalk is blue with white band and herald and runs on
Barber Roller Bearing trucks. The Port Huron & Detroit Railroad was incorporated on September 1, 1917 and
remained in business until 1984 when it was sold to the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. To encourage the return
of the boxcars, short line railroads like Port Huron, could charge a per diem, or daily fee, until the cars were
returned.
