By the early 20th century, the CV had become what it would be until its flag fell in 1995: a Bridge line. Without much in the way of online industry, the CV was a profitable route to move manifest freight form the Midwest and Western Canada to the New England Markets and New York and vice versa. As such, the CV did not feel it necessary to develop a diverse freight roster and so it did not. One important online industry it did develop freight cars for was the milk industry which next to maple syrup is the industry most people associate with Vermont, even today - St Albans went from being referred to as "Rail City" to "Maple City" as proof of this.

The first group of milk cars was built by the Grand Trunk Western in 1923 #530-549. The second group #550-562 and then #563-583 were built in St Albans Vermont at the CV shops and it is from these later two groups I have pulled my road numbers. Given a class of BM-42-A some of these cars survived in service until the 1970's finally being displaced by time and trucks.

Modeler's note: Vinnie Fusca modeled one of these cars years ago in the very challenging color of Olive green, a color which is very rare in Lego unless one plans to build a dinosaur or a plant. CV head end cars followed the pattern of the CN and were painted CN green #1, usually with black ends. To my eye, this color green falls somewhere between olive green and dark green in Lego colors, so I went with the more abundant color for my CV equipment.

Welcome to Fullness of Life Chiropractic, a local chiropractor in Dubuque IA. Aches, pain and fatigue in the beginning seem like minor annoyances. You make accommodations by utilizing the other hand or leg, or stealing time for a nap. Left unchecked they will spiral into bigger aches, pains and even exhaustion. You may even begin to lose strength and function in everyday activities. We recommend that you get your spine checked prior, to maintain a healthy nervous system. Your spinal column provides range of motion and protects the spinal cord which provides the lifelines from your brain to your entire body. Both of these functions are critical to ensuring continuous spinal health & wellness. Call today for a free consultation today.
