Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

I finally looked up "State of Maine" boxcars on the web. Three different railroads purchased them to ship Maine potatoes, mostly from Maine to Massachusetts. The cars were heated by charcoal burners underneath and were so well-made that they remained in service long enough to become a legend.

Some still exist in storage, with occasional reports of one being used.
