As a follow up to the last question, once St. Croix River was sold
by the
Soo, is there a way to figure out what was purchased to replace it
on The
Mountaineer?
Rob,
The Soo Line never replaced the cars. After WWII they continued to
contract for Pullman 8-1-2 sleepers for the train (as did CP) and
continued to supply the diners for the eastern end of the run, but the
lounge car seems to have become CP's responsibility.
The four Soo "River series" cars were functionally the same as the
CP's "River" cars, and both were used on the Mountaineer, which
required either seven or eight (I forget which) compleete consists. I
seem to recall that CP rebuilt their River cars into something else
after WWII.
I thought that someone on this lists said thay had consists for the
post WWII Mountaineer?
