The ultimate luxury industrial desk!

Crafted from sections of a coal car and a steel coil car, this piece represents the ultimate conversation piece for the luxury executive office. Preserved in its authentic distressed state, the Raceland Hopper H-48 Desk captures the very essence of the railroad.

Each piece we craft is individually unique - even more so with the pieces from our Project Boxcar series.

DESKTOP: NYC 627519

We crafted the wooden desktop from the mahogany wood decking of a retired New York Central steel coil car.

Starting with 2-1/2" thick tongue in groove mahogany boards, we hand select our wood and construct the desktop. Then we sand flat to a fine finish resulting in a 2" thick top before hand-applying a tongue-oil finish that makes the grain of the rare hardwood shimmer.

DESK BASE: CSXT 823039

We created the base from a single section of a retired CSX coal hopper, a Raceland Hopper H-48 manufactured in 1971 that gives the desk its name. We preserved the original LD LMT and LT WT markings as well as the information card pocket to attest to the provenance of the materials. The long history of this rolling stock is evident in the distress from decades of service. After cleaning the years of accumulated grit and dirt, we coat the surfaces with environmentally friendly sealers.

AUTHENTICITY

We identified this desk with a 48 date nail scavenged from an abandoned railbed to connect it with the Raceland Hopper model number and attached a stainless steel tag with the original identification numbers of the source cars to both the desktop and the base. A certificate of authenticity accompanies the desk detailing the known story of the artifacts and is signed by Rail Yard Studios Founder Robert Hendrick.
