Merry Boxing Day!

Well, it was Boxing Day in 1982 when Don McQueen snapped, and kindly shared these photos that he took at Quattrocchi's Produce at Montreal and Railway Streets. Notice CN iceless refrigerator class RP CN 231034's rusty wheels. I guess this 1963 Pacific Car & Foundry-built yellow, weathered warrior was spotted a while before Don took this photo, and has waited to be lifted by a CN roadswitcher. Originally NIRX 16502-16579, the cars were leased by CN then bought, with the reporting marks lettering replaced by CN's 'wet-noodle' logo, and unusually, both sides read 'CANADIAN', without a 'CANADIEN' in sight.
