CPR Robot Cars

The first Robot car ( Robot-1; C-4467) was put in service in November 1967. It was painted in the tuscan and grey scheme. After a long period of testing four more were built in 1968. They got the then current blue with multi-mark paint scheme, and were numbered from 1002 to 1005. C-4467 was repainted in blue as well and numbered 1001.
Robot cars contained the receiver equipment for remote control of mid train locomotives used in unit coal and grain trains.
This series was converted from 4400 series baggage cars the ex silk cars.
