CP Rail coal gondola

[BoostedFridge]

I lived by the facility in Port Moody where the Sulphur is unloaded for several years. The loads were fairly flat on top, and sat fairly low in the hopper; about 2-3 feet below the top lip of the hopper.

Nice that should help, and I noticed that the Sultran cars only have four numbers as compared to Procor and CP having six numbers might want to remember that for accuracy. I see you saw my video of the sulphur train posted.

Well done! Are you feeling up to making a version with 20 years of coal dust on em?

[Bcbuhler]

Yes they will be weathered I just have a little bit to do before I can.

[CPRailfan34]

It be nice to have some like new variants too then you can run then as if it was in the 80's

Good luck on the research! I can't find any pics of the red ones without them being caked in coal dust. Nice work btw...

Got the CP cars textures done. I am partnering with the LocoShop so Mike is going to weather them up.

[CPRailfan34]

Wow those look really good! will there be a procor livery that has both types of loads?

[Bcbuhler]

The procor cars hauled both coal and sulfur?

[raptorengineer]

wow that is amazing. thanks so much for making those cars. awesome work.

Yup CP usually used them for the Sultran trains, but yes they were also used for Coal units and still are today, even on the modern cars, I see Procor gondolas all the time here. If you want more information about what Procor used the cars for you can look them up, this might prove to have some useful information about their use. Or you can contact them directly and inquire about their gondola use and show them images of your railworks model and they might be able to help you out with liveries and their use.
