It is easy to find a Central of Georgia box car, but will take some time if you're going to collect each variation. Lastly, thisCentral of Georgia box car was only included in one O gauge freight set in 1966 lead by the 665 Hudson locomotive.

The 6464-375 box car included the following standard features: maroon shell with a silver painted roof and oval on the sides, multi-block sliding doors plus a single brakewheel.
