The Housatonic RR also assisted with the delivery of that unit to the Danbury Railway Museum. 
I used to see a lot of these, back in the day hauling pulverized limestone from Specialty Minerals (formerly Pfizer) in Canaan, CT.

And given the state of the car, they were very generous to do so!

It might not look rough, but I think CSX couldn't wait to get it off their rails.

Every model needs to be taken out of a box at some point.
