The box car made its precarious move with the help of Guy Van Arsdale and crew. Miller and Sons and crew and Museum Commissioners Ken Nelson and Bob Ham son. The box car was a work car for Kinzua and is one of the first box cars made. It has a wooden frame like the ones that came into Heppner on the very first rail.
