Check out Rail Canada Volume 5. Pages 31 and 33 show pictures of 9101 and
9100 respectively. These are phase 1. They match the LL units almost
perfectly. Both pictures show a wire cage over the front end windows added
due to the Doukhabor / Sons of Freedom troubles during the 50's and early
60's for crew protection on units that were assigned to operate in the
southern B.C. Kootenay region (According to Rail Canada)
That brings up another question: is there reasonably accessible
published information about RDC assignments from the time they were
delivered till the early 60s? Going through public timetables from
the period, one can see which trains had Dayliners assigned to them,
but I have nothing other than a (very) few photos to confirm specific
unit assignments.
