The NSC 40' Boxcar with 8' doors were all-steel freight cars constructed by National Steel Car between 1958 and 1960, entering service with their respective roads shortly thereafter. These boxcars featured pressed steel sides and robust 40-foot steel construction, measuring about 40.6 feet in length. Initially equipped with roofwalks, these safety features were systematically removed between 1974 and 1978 following regulatory changes in North America. Most cars wore the standard “boxcar brown” paint, later displaying the more colorful liveries of their respective roads. These boxcars were mainstays of Canadian freight transport from the late-1950s until their gradual retirement or rebuilding in the late 1970s through the 1980s.
