🚂 This weekend was filled with learning at WCR! Our team of engineers and conductors took part in a training session! A huge thank you goes out to Nelson Adkin for generously sharing his wealth of knowledge and experience with us.
🚂 Tomorrow our #FinalSpikeSteamTour kicks off in Calgary, Alta. Come see The Empress up close, dive into our history & take a ride on the Puffer Belly Express mini-train at this special free public event starting at 3 p.m. Visit cpkcr.com/steamtrain for more information.
GO never needed Gallery Cars because they used to have entry and exit gates at each station before moving to a proof of payment fare system. The Bilevels are a good design and influenced future commuter car designs.
Full credit to the Leafs GO Train for our newfound luck #LeafsForever
LEAFS WIN!!!! @LGCanada | #LeafsForever
Gallery Cars! I got to ride these once in Montreal before they were retired. They are still the type used by Metra in Chicago because they have conductors checking tickets and can do both floors at once.
Apr 21, 1970: @canadianpacific officially unveils its new double-decker commuter cars at Montreal's Windsor Station. The nine cars were built by Canadian Vickers for $2.8 million and were for use on CP's Lakeshore commuter service to the West Island. 1/3
@TORailwayMuseum @canadianpacific 901 survives at Exporail...
@TORailwayMuseum @canadianpacific a fun (or not so fun) fact is the Chicago METRA continues to use a variant of these coaches to this day!
