The first cars were built by National Steel Car in 1970 for CN as
199000 series. The first eight in the series were built as double
rotary cars with a rotating drawbar on each end. Since all port ter-
minals used rotary dumpers, this necessitated the use of rotary
coupling systems on the cars. The rotary coupler end of the car
was indicated by a yellow stripe or stripes on that end of the car.
