MODELS MADE BY ANDY WEGMULLER IN HO SCALE (1:87) |
|
| Canadian
Pacific Railway ARA 40ft. Stock car |
 |
| In
1936
Canadian Pacific Railway had 700 40ft. box cars built by CC&F to
the 1932 ARA design. A distinctive feature on this box car series are
the radial roofs. 300 boxcars were selected to be converted into stock cars from 1965 to 1967. A hole was cut into the sides and filled in with wooden slats, and they got new doors. Cars rebuilt in 1965 and 1966 retained the roof walk, cars rebuilt in 1967 had the roof walks removed. Most cars had the script logo, only one is known to me to have the Action red with CP Rail logo. They remained in service until the early 1990's. Many being used to transport ties in MofW service. |
