Great Northern 40' Double Door Box Car #3484 Circus Series #5

Great Northern

Circus Series #5

Roadnumber 3484

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