Long before anyone knew what a cheesehead was, Wisconsin dairy farmers transported their milk to processing plants via the Milwaukee Road railroad in woodsided refrigerator boxcars. These cars, built in 1911 and lasting into the 1950's, could be seen as head end cars on passenger trains as well as on fast freights roaming the picturesque Wisconsin countryside.

Now you too can own a piece of Wisconsin and Milwaukee Road history to display in your own collection or run on your very own layout. This scale sized refrigerator boxcar will look at home with scale sized passenger cars, as well as O and O27 sized freight trains. Order yours today before time runs out! Order deadline is November 30, 2004. Delivery will be April 30, 2005.

This highly detailed classic will be manufactured by Lionel LLC and include a removable roof that reveals two plated interior milk tanks. It also features die-cast sprung passenger trucks and operating couplers.

Proceeds from the sale of this car will benefit the Lionel Railroad Club of Milwaukee.
