Throwback Thursday - CNNA

CNLX 9405 was westbound out of the Belleville yard on July 11, 1994.

CN North America was a short-lived company rebranding of the early 1990s.  Of most interest to railfans was the accompanying logo which was designed to appear on rolling stock.  It featured a light grey CN noodle superimposed on a darker grey map of North America - not particularly inspiring when painted on a grey car such as the subject of today's photo.  This logo was applied to a fair number of locomotives, but only showed up on a small handful of freight cars.  I can only recall photographing two such cars, and seeing one other.  At least we are looking at a clean car here, so the logo is displayed at its best.  The CNLX reporting mark belonged to Canadian National Leasing.
