Description
Railroad Short Name: ATSF, SF
The BX-166 was a product of Santa Fe’s Topeka, Kansas shops in the late 1970s. The BX-155, BX-161, BX-166 and BX-177 were all similar designs. The BX-166 was the double plug door design and was 62 feet long. When built, they were painted in the railroad’s Indian Red paint scheme with the ‘Shock Control’ logo on the sides. In later years, the cars were repainted in a simplified mineral red scheme. Some repainted cars had a small circle-cross herald applied in the upper left corner, while others had reporting marks only.
Many of these cars are still in service, four decades after being built. Some are used for beer service while others carry recycled paper. These cars have two 8-foot insulated plug doors on each side.
