The Van Horne, I believe, is still in the fleet.

Yes indeed.  It has been reconditioned at least once since these photos would have been taken.

I have been privileged to have been through this car a couple of times.

Van Horne has brought up the markers for the Holiday Train more than once!

On a trip aboard the Canadian from Vancouver to Winnepeg, we met at least a couple of Dominions during the daytime.  Just 8 months before this photo (Sept, '62), the Dominion was a full service train with coaches, tourist and Pullman cars, plus a skyline dome and Park car on each train.  It was a pleasing (to me) look of tuscan red heavyweights and stainless lightweight equipment, and, as shown here, a lot of head end equipment....all adding up to 15-20 cars.
