The Walthers Mainline 910-46048 is a 50' ACF exterior-post boxcar in Norfolk Southern paint, road #2247. The exterior-post design with Dreadnaught ends and Plate B clearance made these cars a common sight on freight trains from the 1960s through today, hauling everything from paper and lumber to general merchandise. Crisp NS black-and-white lettering and ready-to-run detail make it an easy addition to any modern or transition-era HO consist.
