Description
Railroad Short Name: CN
Canadian National (CNA) “Repaint 1991 Blue” is a hot car, no matter how you look at it. These prototype cars were repainted from the large ex-Grand Truck Western Greenville 86’ Quad Door fleet. This scheme is a product of the 1990s, so you will notice things like the CAPY line is missing from the car side. The doors are loaded with data, including modern safety stickers for opening, door lubrication data and bilingual door closing instructions. Canadian National modelers will be quick to notice that one side of the car is spelled “CANADIAN NATIONAL” while the other is spelled “CANADIEN NATIONAL” per prototype photos. Each door has the “third arm” cranks appropriate for the “modern” era and photos. These prototypes were originally built in 1970, so they have accurate details like truck-mounted brake gear, Ajax hand brake and End-of-Car Cushioning components. The end crossover platforms have been replaced with Morton style parts.
