Paul,
I've just looked through my books and find no evidence of stainless cars,
other than the *Park *and* Skyline* cars, on the *Dominion*. Recalling my
days as a ticket agent, I recall that the last three cars from the rear
were the* Park*, a *Grove *series 10-6, and an *R* series 8-1-2, modernized
with larger windows. Beyond that came the* T *and* S* class 12-1 sleepers
and the heavyweight diner. I'm going by the Montreal section but my few
western images suggest the same. BTW, the *Expo Limited* had the same
consist.
Folks with ready access to the Consist booklets may be able to add to my
recollections. I expect that stainless cars appeared, quite probably in
the winter when there would have been more cars available.

Guys,
I have a few questions regarding the consist of the CPR "Dominion"
passenger train. I understand that after 1955 when the CPR "Canadian"
train started, that in the summertime when the trains were busy, that the
Dominion would have a Budd Skyline dome car and a Budd Park car added to
the mostly heavyweight car consist. Were there any other Budd cars
typically seen on the Dominion?
Does anyone have some consists of this train in the 1955-1960 era or post
1960 that they would be willing to share? Or any information on typical
consists of this train.
Thank you in advance for any information.
