This unique Milwaukee Road boxcar design was found in the musty cellars of the Milwaukee Road Archives and given to the Milwaukee Lionel Railroad Club to share with you as a limited-edition Lionel boxcar. In the late 1950's young Milwaukee Road graphic designers in the engineering department were ahead of their time with designs for freight cars. This example, called the "Big M" logo design, was judged to be too modern to run the rails at that time. The design was filed away and forgotten, potentially lost forever.

But now, after more than 50 years, volunteers found the original drawing of this unique design, which we are offering to you on an O-27 traditional double-door boxcar. This classic boxcar was developed in association with the Milwaukee Road Archives and Milwaukee Lionel Railroad Club members and was manufactured by Lionel LLC. The car features die-cast sprung trucks with magnetic operating couplers and a metal base, door guides, and brake wheel. You’ll receive a new factory-sealed unit as illustrated in the last photo.
