| CN 76673 is showing off its unique paint scheme in the yard at Brantford, Ontario, on July 26, 1993. |
By Peter Mumby.
During
the 1977/78 time frame, CN acquired in excess of 200 transfer vans.
These were constructed in-house at Montreal's Pointe St-Charles shops.
The two cars illustrated in today's post wore something other than the
basic CN paint and lettering scheme. CN 76673 had been partially
repainted in a Test Engineering scheme, and was used for advanced train
control test trains. It was one of the few pieces of rolling stock,
either revenue or company service, that wore the 1992-era "CN North
America" logo. Ex-CN 76695 is an example of a car which found a second
career after being discarded by the big railway. It was very tastefully
decorated for the Esquimalt and Nanaimo division of the Canadian
Railroad Historical Association.
