– NAHX “Morton Salt 6-1969” shows an interesting example of cars for North American Car Corporation’s lease fleet.  This group is leased to Morton Salt Company by NAHX and the cars carry an interesting mix of dates: Built in 4-69, a liner applied for salt service in 5-69 and a NEW date of 6-1969!  Of course, this accurate data is all shown in the prototype photo on the website.  If you look closely, you can see the white/red/black North American Car Co. badge and trust plate.  The bays are equipped with Youngstown EZ-Roll gravity gates.  NAHX cars are always interesting because of their mix of lettering styles and Lessee logos.  This is a great example of private leased covered hoppers carrying a non-grain commodity
