Prototype History:
This 53' boxcar was manufactured in the 1960s and '70s by Evans Company and was used primarily to haul produce, wood and paper products, and canned goods. This railcar is an insulated RBL (Railcar, Passenger Service, Insulated) featuring a 16 foot opening and double plug doors.
Road Name History:
Wickes Cos. was one of the nation's largest retailers with $4 billion in annual sales at such chain outlets as Builders Emporium, Wickes Lumber, Wickes Furniture, and Woman's World Shops. It entered in Chapter 11 corporate reorganization in 1982, in one of the largest bankruptcy relief actions ever filed.

Wickes Agriculture Division was sold to the Pillsbury Company of Minneapolis for approximately $43.4 million in 1982.
