Description

Road numbers may vary – randomly-chosen single car from multi-pack

The prototype cars were designed for carrying bulk commodities like powdered minerals and industrial chemicals, including cement and potash. They are 100-tons in capacity with four hopper compartments totaling 3800-3850 cubic feet and are fitted with either round or trough hatches. Examples were built by all three of the major car builders in Canada – Marine Industries, HawkerSiddeley and National Steel Car – and they have traveled to every corner of Canada and the contiguous United States.
