Northern Pacific Railway 10896

Northern Pacific Railway #NP-10896 U.S. Car & Foundry 1923 Boxcar. U.S. Car and Foundry built this double-sheathed wood boxcar in September 1923 as Northern Pacific NP 10896 under Authorization for Expenditure AFE 5018-23. Constructed of double sheathed wood sides, the car has pressed steel ends, wooden side doors, and a Murphy-type arch roof. After its revenue service duties were over, the car was placed into maintenance of way service in October 1960 under AFE 5228-60. It was renumbered NP 200328, which it remained even after the creation of Burlington Northern in March 1970. The Northwest Railway Museum purchased the car.
