Late
last fall my friend Chris Martin gave me a slide of CP 911, a hazmat
training car that had been sitting in Quebec St. yard in London,
Ontario. This got me digging in to the collection to find photos of
similar cars that I had seen, also sharing the 911 number. Although not
carrying the 911 identifier, I will also present a rubber tired safety
vehicle sponsored by Direction 2006, Operation Lifesaver, and Transport
Canada.

Here we see CN 911 again, this time in the company of the DuPont/Norfolk
Southern safety train. This 3-car set consists of tank car DUPX 913A,
box car DUPX 913B, and caboose DUPX 913 C. |

Anyone know of a decal set for an HO model of this vehicle? |

CCPX 911 had been repainted in dark blue by June 14, 2003 when I caught
up to it at Walkley Yard in Ottawa. The occasion was an Ottawa Central
open house. |
