N Scale - 50' Rib Side Plug Door Box Car Without Roof Walk, Weathered Seminole Gulf/EX LEF&C

Built by Evans in 1979 for the Lake Erie, Franklin & Clarion Railroad Company, this 50’ boxcar was used in the Incentive Per Diem program. To encourage the return of the boxcars, short line railroads, like Port Huron, could charge a per diem, or daily fee, until the cars were returned. Eventually, the car, in original paint, made its way to the Seminole Gulf Railway. Founded in 1987, the Seminole Gulf is a short line freight and passenger excursion railroad operating out of Fort Myers, Florida.
