This
78 heavyweight paired-window coach car is painted green
with black band and yellow lettering
and runs on 6-wheel passenger trucks. Originally built in 1919
for Canadian National Railway,
these first-class coaches enjoyed a long career in mainline
service between Montreal and New
England. In the 1930s, this car was reassigned to road number
4962 and retrofitted with ice-cooled
air conditioning and interior upgrades before being relegated
to Montreal-based commuter service
in 1969.
