Is there a Mike in the house

Can any of you CN types point me to photos of the wood chip versions? I have a thing for wood chip cars -- and Maine Central actually also had the same sort of outside braced box car wood chip conversions.

In my challenge thread, I gave indication about a RMC article (1976, May I think). There's a picture of an old Maine Central steel boxcar converted to wood chip service. I'll check it for you when I return home this afternoon.

It is clear CN and CP used 40' 3-Bay steel hoppers (without modifications) and roofless boxcar. CN Nutbar took a picture of a roster of them.
