Don't recall seeing this neat restoration mentioned here on RyPN:

Seeing ANY Erie equipment restored is always wonderful. An Erie X29 box car is especially gratifying. The railroad doing the work is the Allentown & Auburn. I believe they also have an unrestored 40' steel CNJ box car on their roster.

That is quite an excellent restoration. It is not a true Erie boxcar however, rather a former PRR X29, specifically the one that was displayed for many years, in primer, out in the display yard at Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

The CNJ car is a true veteran of the Big Little Railroad, the one that formerly called Jim Thorpe home during the days of Rail Tours Inc. operation.

Thanks for the clarification. I've amended the subject of this thread to include the fact that this is a replication of an Erie boxcar. Incidentally, the original Pennsylvania Railroad number for the X29 car was PRR 38482.
