Railway equipment notes.

...

The Canadian Northern Ry. has recently added to its equipment 500 box cars and 25 refrigerator cars, built by Rhodes, Curry & Co., Amherst, N.S. The box cars are built to the standard dimensions of the American Railway Association, and the refrigerator cars have the same outside dimensions. In the interior arrangements a departure has been made from the general practice in regard to the heater spaces. An exterior door at diagonally opposite sides and ends of the car allow a double economy heater to be placed under the ice tank. This section is fireproofed with galvanized iron and asbestos. By this arrangement the usual heater cages in the body of the car are done away with and a much more serviceable car for general freight is obtained.
