Canadian Railroads > Supercontinental Sunday at Jasper July 1970Date: 01/31/16 05:57 Supercontinental Sunday at Jasper July 1970 Author: JPB Sometime in July of 1970, CN's wb Supercontinental arrives Jasper, AB where a full length dome will be switched into its consist for the rest of the trip to Vancouver. Nice looking train even if the GAF slide color dyes have shifted over the decades!

I didn't know the full dome was added at Jasper at that time , as when I rode it in 76;the dome was added at Winnipeg ,but the sky tops were gone by then.

Nothing has changed, except it runs 2 or 3 days a week, they changed the train name, and the almighty CN takes 24 hours longer to get it across the country, and not from Montreal.

Excellent shot of the Skytop; that's probably the tail of the Ruper Rocket, which the cars were usually assigned to.
