Comments on: On empty grain train CP 341-008, National Steel Car hopper #650000, sits about mid-train as it slowly departs Windsor yard bound for the U.S. and more grain loading.

Yes they’ve been purchased. A steady flow has been coming out of NSC. I see them on the Belt Line job here in Hamilton quite often. Saw a shot elsewhere of a unit of these out west.

So, CP is purchasing these? It is good that the tax-payers are not involved for a change.

NSC has been turning out a lot of new grain hoppers for CP. There are also ones with the beaver logo in black in roughly the same spot, but slightly larger. I hear that CN now has similar ones coming out now also.

Are these the new cars that are to replace the “Canada” or Trudeau hoppers?
