Called off in 2000. A US appeals court had declared a moratorium on mergers, other railroads opposed it, it might have triggered another round of merger mania and neither CN or BNSF wanted to spend years fighting it in court.
And the Beaver logo is for Canadian Pacific, not Canadian National. CN used a maple leaf before the "wet noodle."

I obviously didn't look at the logo too closely. Thanks. So maybe a CP flatcar with a BNSF container. Or vice versa?
Maybe some lumber trucks.
Center Beam Flatcar's
Anything Canadian is at the top of my wish list. Good times again with Menards rolling out new items...........Paul 2
This is odd. The GN became part of BN, which became part of BNSF...
Some of CP's route's were laid to keep GN OUT of Canada....
Yet, James Hill, the Empire Builder, was born in Canada.....
Ha! Streamlined passenger cars for both?
Express Boxcars....?
The plot thinkens....
New covered hoppers for grain.

Why is the beaver yawning?
Canadian Pacific containers on BNSF well cars.

ItIt seems it is chewing on a piece of lumber...
Canadian Pacific and BNSF both have high-cube 60' box cars, so it could be a new high-cube box car.

The fire station! Final answer! LOL
Intermodal well cars with shipping containers for the BNSF and the CP.
Andrew
More graffiti boxcars but this time with modern road names.
It's a two-fer Tuesday. Here are two brand new boxcars! Shop now >
Thank you,

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the CP box car. I think Mike g might be buying a string of those BNSF box cars. Nice job Mark and crew ( dad too )...........Paul 2
The CP Beaver is one of the great paint schemes by any RR. Will probably have to pull the trigger on that one.
Very sharp cars

Well with Sharp minds... come Sharp products!
Holy mackerel....very cool!
Very nice cars! The artwork it beautiful.
The did the CP have real boxcars painted like that? Looks like the Lionel livery for the CANADIAN train set!
Are those fantasy schemes? And why do cars with modern paint schemes have K-brake valves that were banned in the 1930s?
Wow, I hate when that happens! LOL
Ah, that was disappointing - I was hoping for a CPR 'Spans The World' or CPR block-lettered brown boxcars in keeping with the 40-footer style. Too dull a paint scheme for the toy market I guess.
