Nostalgia & History > Santa Fe sleepers in Montreal, June 1968

These ATSF sleepers appeared at CP's Glen coach yard in June 1968. They are coupled into the consist of the D&H Montreal - New York City overnight train stabled for the day in CP's coach yard near Montreal.

Was it an organised tour visiting Montreal for a few days?. The man in the pink shirt talking to a carman probably knew.

My recall is thet the Regal series cars were of the 4-4-2 configuration. The third Pullman, which only shows the vestibule, reveals a black roof, making me think this may be an ACL or SAL car. AA

The Regals were indeed 4-4-2's. The top photo shows the ACF version from 1950, the bottom shows the 1947 PS version. Those Canadian guys must have wondered about those steam ejector A/C units.
