| CN 72616 was present in a line of company service equipment at Komoka, Ontario on April 17, 1994. |
By Peter Mumby.
The CN noodle logo was introduced in January of 1961. That means that, by the time this company service boxcar was photographed in 1994, the green leaf logo was more than thirty years out of date. Even the slogan no longer applied, since by the end of the 1980s CN had withdrawn from both Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. Somehow a slogan like “Serves Eight Out of Ten Canadian Provinces” just wouldn’t cut it. As modellers, however, we can appreciate the opportunity to incorporate outmoded paint schemes into a relatively modern setting.
