Canadian National had a whopping 4,655 offset side 3-bay hoppers making them one of the most common cars on CN. They were built in several batches between 1949 and 1958. Eastern Car Company, National Steel, and Canadian Car & Foundry all built cars to this same design for CN. Beginning in 1961, cars were repainted with the newly adopted “noodle” logo as they went in for servicing. For this run we present them as they appeared from about 1973 onward. Above the road numbers, it says CANADIAN NATIONAL (English spelling) on one side and CANADIEN NATIONAL (French spelling) on the other side. This paint scheme will be available in six road numbers.
