From what I found, the car was a representation of the dry chemical market CN
handled, not Potash.
But as others have noted, CN used the formula for a liquid chemical instead.

First thing is its not even the right car lionel put that scheme on. The
real car was a national steel car 4 bay cylindrical covered hopper while
lionel's offering isn't even close to that. Also, anything more than one car
number is also incorrect. The CN only painted the one car in that scheme. It
was painted tat way to promote the potash mining and shipping that the CN deals
with. This car was used exclusively in the potash industry. You can always
tellv the cylindicals service type. This car has the round hatches in the top.
Those are alway for the potash or fertilizer industry, while the ones with the
trough hatches are always used to ship grains.
A better choice will be kaslo shops cylindrical covered hopper and then
have some decals made for it.

Tom,
Looks like they were trying new paint colors and used only that side ,
but it turned up on the prototype car. MY THOUGHTS.

Anyone who knows Lionel's propensity for giving the kiddos stuff like
the Mickey & Minnie handcar and the Goofy boxcar may suspect that that
"Lifesaver" -looking tankcar is just another Lionel cutesie. But the number on
the car in Lionel's catalog turns up a picture of the real one.
But further poking around on the internet reveals the information that
this was painted that way on one side only. The other side was a more
conventional CN paint scheme.
I wonder what Lionel will do.
