Number 583776, a 40' standard box car, double doors, was built in May 1937. It is painted CN mineral red and stenciled in white. It was reweighed in December 1969, at the Transcona Shops located in Winnipeg (indicated by CN's station symbol 'PU') and the new CN 'Wet Noodle' logo was applied. French wording was also added to one side at that time. Finished lumber was a primary Western Canadian export during the '60s and '70s. These 90,000 lb capacity cars hauled this commodity until more efficient vehicles such as the bulkhead and center beam flat cars were developed. Green double doors provided easy and safe forklift access.
