Railpictures.ca - Paul O'Shell Photo: The opposite view Further to my trip last month, and posting showing the dated furnishings in VIA 8707 Kokanee Park on VIA 005 The Skeena, here is a view in the same car looking towards the staircase to the dome level. As in the original CP Canadian Park cars, there are six clocks for Canada’s time zones (none of them accurate), a stationary desk for writing a post card, and the hallway leading to the Mural Lounge. What a great car to travel in! :-) | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Park car lounge seating as it should be, complete with clocks for each time zone. The only thing missing are the chrome cigarette/drink glass stands. Thank you Paul for recording this “historical” scene, long may it last on the “Skeena” to/from Prince Rupert, on the Churchill train (now and again) and hopefully one day to the Gaspe, John
