         NQOY,
        NQPY, NQOF, RQBY   63' CONTAINER FLAT WAGON 
        Commencing in the mid-80s the SRA
        started to recode some NQOYs to NQOF and NQPY. These wagons had their
        2CM bogies replaced with 3 piece roller bearing types and were used for
        Intrastate loading.
         
         
        During the early 1990s further
        modifications were undertaken, tare weight reduction with sections of
        steel deck sheeting and the equipment boxes removed and the container
        locks were upgraded to marine type twist locks. These wagons were
        recoded NQSY and NQBY and later migrated into the NRC fleet in 1995,
        they were again recoded to RQSY and RQBY.
        
         
        
        With the formation of Pacific National in 2002 all NRC and FreightCorp
        wagons were pooled together with the FC wagons retaining their N coding
        prefix.
