Denver & Rio Grande Western Boxcar No. 64084
El Paso County
As a representative type of rolling stock that illustrated the railroad’s experimentation in damage prevention equipment, Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad Boxcar No. 64084 was innovative for the time with nailable steel flooring.
The 64000 series cars reflected several improvements from previous boxcars. It was a longer 50-foot length that allowed for a greater variety of cargo and had a metal roof walkway that reduced maintenance. The car remained in service into the 1980s
