4076 and another fruit express car are getting a wash in the Drake Street coach yard in preparation for the upcoming fruit season. The last one for this car as it was scrapped in January of 1960. Built at Angus in 1911 these 60 foot wooden cars had steel center sills and steel end reinforcements. Note the roof mounted ventilators that scooped in fresh air. By its fresh appearance this car likely had a paint job over the winter befitting its location on the headend of passenger trains.
