5/5 Welded Dreadnaught End
The Canadian Pacific
Railway acquired 9650 10' IH 1937 AAR Standard steel box cars between 1937 and
1946. A unusual welded version of
a Dreadnaught end with 5 corrugations in each sheet was used on all but 50 of
these box cars. The first cars,
built from 1937 to 1940 had square corner posts, while the later cars, built
from 1941 to 1946 had the later W corner post. This polyurethane casting represents the second variation
used on 3750 cars, and is used in kits CP-001 thru
CP-004.
