LIONEL TRAINS SOO LINE OPERATING BOX CAR No. 3494-625
The Soo Line No. 3494-625 was produced in 1957 and 1958 on a Type IIB body with Multi-Block doors and WHITE heat stamped lettering. Variation A was painted TUSCAN BROWN and Variation B was painted TUSCAN RED. Came with bar-end trucks and tabbed couplers.
Because this car was never issued as part of a set it is difficult to find and is highly prised by collectors today.
