Description
In an effort to retain customers, Bangor & Aroostook Railroad in the 1960's built rolling stock for specific customers or groups of customers. The all-door lumber car replaced the use of the standard box car to accommodate the increased use of fork lifts for palletized freight.
Information source: Bangor and Aroostook Railroad's magazine, "Maine Line," v. 14 #1, p. 5.
