Did ya know that the railroads sent Rail-O-Grams instead of telegrams to the
Congress when they wanted their support on mergers?  Just thought
this was unusual and interesting for a boxcar.

Bet it cost more than .50 a word to boot.

| And the moro..seller only took it out of the box for coupler mounting and pictures. Which means when you get it, couplers will be broken off and maybe the boxes. Good Job!
