Athearn GTW 40 foot double door box car.

Athearn GTW 40 foot double door box car., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

I took this photograph recently, at the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers, H.O Scale Model Railroad Club.

The former Grand Trunk Western, was always one of my all time favorite Chicago railroads I had grown up with.

Deen here is my recently purchased Athearn model of a GTW 40 foot double door box car.

The GT logo to the right of the double doors, was created by the GTW parent company Canadian National Railroad in 1961, and replaced the old steam era Canadian National and Grand Trunk western maple leaf logo.
