New Prairie Shadows 3800 hoppers announced

[cv_acr]

So, does that mean that the Intermountain "Rainbow" car is a foob? The announcement says the 3800s were built "between1967-1975", but #370708 was built 12-66.

Thanks!

Yes. It's a 3800. The Intermountain is a 4550.

It's also a one-car-only scheme, so if you got a car # other than -708 it's even more of a foobie.

Any Intermountain cars in Canadian Pacific "script" scheme are also foobies, since that logo was replaced with the CP Rail + MultiMark in 1968, so the script last appeared on 3800s.

Good to know. I've never been up to speed on the timeline for CP paint schemes, on cars or engines. CN is even worse.

Chris:

Are these cars accurate for the CN 371XXX series?  I have photos of CN 370XXX and 371XXX series in lime service on BCR.


Thanks,

Yep, the CNIS 368xxx and CN 369xxx-371xxx series cars are 3800/3850 cuft cars.

Received my "pre-order is ready" notice today and sent some funds north so hopefully there will be a few CP cars heading south in the near future.

I thought these were due soon.  Just received the Rapido tank cars and now these - good times!

Nice to see new product arriving.

When would these have been transferred into secondary ownership and left service with Procor or Canpotex?

[Narlie]

They have arrived!
Jeff is processing the orders now  expect mine in the next week or so.

Just paid for my 2 CNLX cars...

Does anyone know, given the 3800 cu ft capacity, would these be 70-Ton cars with 33" wheels?

Tim

[bbussey]

It depends on the car capacity.

Car data adds up to 100T capacity:
