Hey,   one more question...would the opposite side on these tank cars be in French?

Thanks again

I don't think so.

This is a different series but it is the opposite side of the car as the tanks in the other photos.

English on one side and French was a feature of the post-1961 modern CN "noodle" paint schemes. It was never used before that.

The block lettering schemes illustrated here pre-date that.
