Paper, and specifically newsprint, has long been a major export of Canada. In earlier years, certain boxcars were designated for this service. In 1967 National Steel Car Co (NSC) produced the first of 3,592 50' 70-ton box cars built specifically for this service. The wood-lined interior, including doors, was smooth to prevent damage to the 2,000 lb rolls of newsprint. Two types of sliding plug doors were used, a flush Youngstown lever-type, and a Youngstown lever-less type with exterior posts. Hydra-Cushion or ACF Freight-Saver cushioned underframes were used on many of the cars.
Exterior Post Cars - Series 50001 - 850022

In the mid-70's NSC started building cars with similar dimensions, but with a welded exterior post design. The cars originally feature 9-rib ends and 9' Youngstown exterior post sliding plug doors. Later variations included 10' doors of the same type, and in 1980 a 10-rib end was introduced. The newest addition to the ever expanding line up of True Line Canadian Cars!
