The BBCRC would like to acquire a specific type of intermodal double stack well car (Thrall, “Husky stack” 48 foot, stand-alone square wheel well car) for preservation at our site. These cars were common on railroads in North American from the late 1980s through the 1990s and early 2000s. In recent years they have become increasingly rare as many have been converted to 40 foot cars or possibly scrapped. In November, 2014, the BBCRC board of directors reaffirmed our interest in moving forward with preservation of one of these cars and designated it one of our highest priorities for acquisition. Please let us know any of our friends and supporters can connect us with a possible source for a sale or donation of one of these cars to the BBCRC. Below is a photo of the type of well car we want to acquire:
