Recently the subject of the "forty and eight" boxcar came up. Here's a link to some information on that WWII era European boxcar:

On this site the subject came up when Frank shared a note for December 21 from his father's POW diary. It brought up the fact that the POW's were loaded 60 to a boxcar.

More notes and memories about experiences with this boxcar would be welcome.
