“Return to Temagami Ontario When Empty” stamped on CN "barrel" ore car #346074 is still visible as the iron-ore hopper awaits the scrappers torch at the CN S Yard in Vaughan, Ontario. The car was one of hundreds of freight cars that were scrapped at the yard, which was located at MacMillan Yard near the Highway 7 overpass. Today the yard is long gone, and the site is part of a large transload facility.

    Still the best looking train to ever run in Ontario.

    100% agreed. It was one of a kind.

    I loved seeing the unit trains coming into DOFASCO in 1988… Canadian Steel being made with Canadian ore..

    I would have thought this was a scale test car.

    At least one of these was saved for a scale test car no, but painted orange? I have photos of something similar.

    Mac Yard had one of those that was the scale test car.. I assume it’s still there. It is orange….52010 is the number IIRC.

    Thanks for all the comments guys. I wish I would have seen the CN ore trains, however they ended well before I picked up a camera.
