The car was built in 1952 as CPR baggage-express car #4769, a round roofed streamlined car that was used system-wide and originally painted in CPR Tuscan Red with gold lettering. Some of this series were also used on The Canadian as extra baggage cars, painted in silver to match the stainless steel consist. It was converted to a tool car in 1971 and used on auxilliary trains. The length is 81 feet. This will provide us with storage and shelter at the Hearn site in Amherstburg that we work on our Alco's at. After passing a safety inspection, the car has left Montreal and is in Toronto, now being sent down to Windsor on a freight train for pickup by the Essex Terminal. The time of arrival is still uncertain, but it should be in the next couple of days or so.
Now.....I cannot for the life of me find a photo of her online. Can anyone provide me with one or something close to her?
Just thought I'd share some good news from over here in Windsor.
