Rock Island was an early adopter of the 86’ quad door boxcar, receiving this batch from Pullman Standard in the summer of 1964. They
are thought to be the first boxcars to be delivered to RI without running boards. It seems the builder received special dispensation
to leave them off. This paint scheme will be available in 3 road numbers.

In 1995 Canadian National was privitized and their US subsidiaries were transitioned to the status of “paper railroads” with operations
and marketing images integrated into CN. Since subsidiary Grand Trunk Western had many more 86’ boxcars than CN, GTW blue was adopted
as the new standard color. As the internet became ubiquitous, CN added their website below the familiar CN noodle. These cars have
“CANADIAN” (English) on one side and “CANADIEN” (French) on the other. This paint scheme will be available in 3 road numbers.
