Bob Date: 07/13/22 17:57 Re: My CPR Slides 118 Author: DavidP I remember Trains magazine publishing a photo sequence of the Canadians meeting at Carleton Place sometime in the early seventies, I've always loved the look of this pocket streamliner, with less than a 50/50 ratio of revenue to non-revenue space.

Thanks for your super interesting photo posting. ALLEN Date: 07/14/22 05:13 Re: My CPR Slides 118 Author: DrawingroomA That was the usual 1970s off-peak consist for the Canadian until VIA took over. After the merger of the Toronto section in Sudbury, the train was only one sleeper longer.
It is interesting to see president N. R. Crump's business car Laurentian at the front of the train. Mr Crump didn't like any equipment behind the Park car. VIA was naughty for several years and would carry private cars behind the Park car.
