Car 777 (IC men must have called it lucky, eh?) , was used for magazine loading, and is seen here on the Barstow, California depot house track in June, 1967. Wx4 speculates that it is waiting to be picked up by the Grand Canyon to head back to the Midwest for another load of Sordid Railroad Stories Illustrated.
