HO Vancouver Iron Works Piggyback Flatcar: Canadian National: Single Car w/ 45' Trailer
In the 1960s, trailer on flatcar (TOFC) operations was the newest railroad innovation. Traffic had grown substantially and Canadian National and Canadian Pacific saw a need to purchase TOFC-style flatcars that could handle both dual 26-foot and larger trailers. These flatcars were not limited to the Northlands, as they were often seen all throughout the United States. They were commonly seen in the Northeast, but often seen as far west as California! While they were often seen in intermodal consists, they were also commonly mixed into manifest freights.

- Metal grab irons
- Detailed underbody brake piping
