The last four boxcars to be taken off the WP&YR roster were taken off in 1977 and 1978. They were 702 (C&S 8215), 712 (C&S 8238), 730 (C&S 8257), and 734 (C&S 8309). The bodies of all four still exist in some capacity, with their under frames, but without their trucks. No boxcars have been disposed of since then.
