What an interesting find on this July 23, 2008 afternoon in Churchill, MB. Somewhat imitating a VIA Rail paint scheme with its yellow & blue colours and stripes, this business car was devoid of any identification other than its AMTRAK certification No. 800576, and a stencil above the galley door reading 'Jonathan Wood Oklahoma City, Oklahoma'. Closer inspection of the car revealed it was last named 'Canadian Sunrise' which allowed me to trace it backwards as ex-NREX 'Royal Adventure', exx-CN 100 'Bonaventure', exxx-CN 90, exxxxx-CN 23. Built in 1959 it is one year shy of 50 years old. Photo taken by David Wylie and submitted with permission.
