Trenton Works 5250 - About the Prototype:

Between 1995 and 1996, Trenton Works out of Nova Scotia built multiple lots of hoppers for Canadian grain service. At that time, these cars held 500 CUFT more than the average hopper on the rails. This made them popular for railroads like Canadian National; who built over 1000 of these cars. Besides CN, other companies such as Saskatchewan Wheat Pool built multiple lots of cars that offered the eye-catching POOL paint-scheme. Over the years, these cars changed hands from various owners including Norfolk Southern, FURX, NOKL and St Mary's railway.
