Canadian Wheat Board
During the early 1970s a major shortage of grain cars developed in Canada. Railways were reluctant to invest in new cars given the artificially low rate for moving grain in Canada, and as a result the Canadian government stepped in to provide the desperately needed grain cars under the mantle of the Canadian Wheat Board, which is the marketing agency for Western Canadian wheat and barley growers. CNWX cars are assigned to service on the Canadian National, CPWX are assigned to the Canadian Pacific, and they rarely wander from their assigned road.
