Greater Winnipeg Water District Railway box cars - "The Forks Marketplace"

I had a waymarking frenzy during a recent research trip to Winnipeg, visiting more than 100 waymarks, logging 75 in one day. There is still room for more waymarks in the area. I am posting three for static railway cars.

GWWD Box Cars - Winnipeg, Manitoba

The two rail cars are located in the parking lot immediately north of "The Forks Marketplace" near the caboose on display.

These two box cars began their railway careers in 1989 with the Greater Winnipeg Water District Railway as box cars #401 and #402

Since October 2014, the two rail cars have hosted a series of works by local artist Nym (Darryn J Nimchuk) entitled Crowds.
