There is currently a long line of these cars in Saskatoon full of
ballast. They are a mix of ones with and without the branchline rehab
program lettering, and a mix of ones with the new reflectors and ones
without. As a note: while the hoppers are very similar to the
Walther's model, the CP originals have all of their brake
infrastructure under the car, not imbedded in the ends like the
model, and there are some other minor differences, including the
additional bracing at the ends. can't take pictures as I am on the
road.

PS: a lot of the CN cars still have the Branchline Rehab lettering
the side.

They are now just part of CP's ballast fleet, alongside the 457
CN had equivalent cars but they took the trouble to painted
out the funding note once it no longer had importance.
