The cylindrical hopper in question was one of a small series of different

. . . . . . . .. . . Canada is officially bilingual, and back when the "wet
noodle" logo was introduced, CN was still a crown (government) corporation.
Thus, freight cars were lettered English on one side (Canadian National) and
French on the other (Canadien National).

I recall reading that one of the terms of the privatization contract was
that the corporation would remain bilingual. How you say wet noodle in
French ? La nouille humide ?
