Here's something a little different. Stored in Ottawa when I drove thru in 1981 was a number of cars from the Canadian Discovery Train. This is one example of about 20 cars hauled cross country by a pair of CN locomotives for the most part. The train was sponsored by the National Museum of Canada; featuring a rolling museum stopping at many locations along the way in order to introduce citizens to the history of our country. The train ran between 1978 and 1980. I have no idea what became of the rolling stock.
