This 50’ rib side box car with double sliding doors, short ladders and no roofwalk is painted green with black, white and red logo and large white “NP” with black shadow. Lettering is white. It was built in May 1969 and runs on Roller Bearing trucks. Originally, the series to which this car belonged, series 1350-1414 and 1415-1499, was built in 1968 and numbered for Northern Pacific. In 1969, with the BN merger looking more likely, the remaining cars of the original series were built and numbered into the Burlington Northern numbering system.

Canadian National operates the only railway that enters the frozen tundra of the Northwest Territories.
