This is the 2002 installment of the Ntrak Express of Orange County, California¹s series of commemorative Christmas Cars. The series started in 1996. The club is active in promoting rail fun and safety in the entire Southern California community.

This unusual 3 car set is designed to represent ex-Southern Pacific equipment purchased by Route 160, the fictitious railroad of Ntrak's Group 160. The three car set still carries the Southern Pacific road name, but the reporting marks have been painted over and re-stenciled for BNTK, the reporting marks of the Burbank Ntrak club. One car is a boxcar, relettered as a tool car from the MOW department. The second car is a covered hopper with placards indicating sand service; the third is a canopener-ed former covered hopper labeled for ballast service only. This car comes with a custom ballast load already installed. The three car set sells for $49.95 from Group 160.
