In May and June of 1978, the American Rail Box Car Company (Railbox) sought a unique design of 77-ton Plate C box cars from FMC. These cars had a 6' plug doors in addition to the regular 10' Youngstown slider. Between October 1984 and July 1985, Canadian National acquired nearly 1000 of the original ABOX FMC 5277 Combo Door box cars second hand. These cars were repainted Tucsan Red by CN's Moncton, N.B. shops. Others were pressed into immediate service in original ABOX paint with reporting marks restenciled for CN.
