CNR 40' Flatcar

The car seen in this week's Wordless Wednesday.

I was looking through a group of photos on the Erie Lackawanna E-Mail List Photo Archives that was mentioned by Eric Hansmann on his blog Notes of Designing, Building, and Operating Model Railroads when I came upon this photo. There is no data about location although the year was set as maybe 1926 or 1927. For us modelers this car looks a lot like an Athearn 40' flatcar with the trucks changed out...something to think about...George Dutka

Does not look like a lot of effort is needed to unload this car...just stay out of the way when the unloading begins. A neat load for modeling. One of these car might show up on the WRD at some point.
