Excellent, Paul! That's another I can cross off my list that I was going to do!
They saw a lot of use in Vermont shipping feed from Richford VT (end of a CV branch) to small feed stores all over.

Hi Chris,

Saw 40 footers up here into the early eighties. a bit longer then the States. Chased a 42 car "Box Train" from Smiths Falls one evening... wasn't much of a chase, CP 4744 croaked just west of Merrickville.

Looks great Paul, but don't recall the colored doors on them? Seen my share of 40 footer CN's hanging around the rail yards here in Toronto in the 70's and 80's. And there's a few that still may reside in Lindsay and Haliburton I think? Oh, maybe the set outside of Lindsay has green doors on it come to think of it.

Would your types be seen in Ontario much? Or more in the eastern regions.

These cars would be used all over Canada, not just in the Maritimes. Worked from photos found on the internet, so the colored doors are appropriate for the block of cars. They are also shown this way in a CN promo booklet they gave out to customers back in 1970, it's downstairs and I'm not, but if I remember correctly, green (double) door cars were in lumber service and yellow door cars were in paper service.

Paul :-)
