Model Railroading > ALPX blue Alberta covered hopper-2007.

This image was taken January 2007 at Mortlach, Saskatchewan. By 2007, I had thought that all the Blue Alberta Wheat Pool cars had been painted with the "Take a Break..." on them. Well, this car had escape the Take a Break... re-paint.

I will explain it. The ALPX and ALNX cars were painted with "Take a Break...(then a name of a town in Alberta. You would see it this way. "Take a Break..." Tabor. The lettering was always on the left end of the car.

This car would be easy modeling. You could take one of the Intermountain cars and remove the "Take a Break... Town name.
