Themed Railroad Cars in the Lionel 125 Years of Lionel, 2025 Catalog

@Choo Choo Charlie - While not born or from Alabama, I was there for 16 years. Every year we'd hear about the "Iron Bowl" between Auburn University and the University of Alabama. Happened to accidently stumbled across both boxcars from Lionel and purchased them. Lionel did some college boxcars years ago. Many may still available. Supposedly 30 in the series.

Here's a partial list:

2006: University of Michigan, Penn State, University of Illinois, University of Alabama, University of Oklahoma
2007: Purdue University, University of Virginia.
2008: University of Maryland, Villanova University, U.S. Military Academy at West Point

Thanks for the update on prior Lionel University themed cars.  I was not aware that they had made university themed cars in the past.  Based on your info that Lionel made cars for 30 universities several years ago, it was not much of profitable idea for them.

As with many of past Lionel offerings being expensive, rare or hard to find, I had or got to make my own car.  I am in the middle of building a Atlas or MTH based Snow Plow car this month.
