Frank's Roundhouse - United Parcel Service (UPS)

UPS rolling stock have been documented in brown or greenish-brown colors. Some have a glossy finish. "UPSX 53028" is printed on the car ends. The cars typically came in a white box with "U.P.S." or occasionally with the letter "C" on one end. It is thought that Frank's Roundhouse produced more UPS cars than any other road name.
