Over
the 1970 - 1977 time period, CN assembled well in excess of 500 steel
vans for mainline service. Numbered 79350-79924, these cabooses were
produced at Point St. Charles shops in Montreal using parts from retired
box cars. Scarcely noticeable amidst this contingent was a small
6-unit order manufactured for Algoma Central Railway. This group bore
numbers 9601-9606 and today's 1980-vintage photo shows 9604 at its home
base in Sault Ste. Marie.
