First appearing in the late 1990s, this unique CIMC 40’ standard-height container features removable canvas tops (simulated on the model) to allow for hauling oversize or other types of bulky cargo that does not easily fit through the end doors. This contemporary steel container design features full corrugations on both sides and either 0-3-0 or 1-3-1 door corrugations.
