Business Car Nova Scotia - new photo?

Post by engineeral »

I came across this photo recently, and I was sure I would be able to find the source again but I haven't. The info with the picture is:
From: "Bud Laws" buddotlawsatoplinkdotnet
Subject: CA Dominion Atlantic Passenger Car
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2009 04:05:39 -0500 -- File Info: JPEG 1250x874

A version of this picture is at:
http://www.trainweb.org/oldtimetrains/photos/dar/one.htm
but it is smaller there.

In the picture it looks like Evangeline is facing the rear of the car (assuming the rear of the car is the end with the decorative fringe over the open vestibule).

Interesting photo. Taken from the same side and the same place as this one, just like the Bud Law photo:

When compared with this photo taken from the same side and place, Evangeline is facing the opposite way. Good eye! Very interesting!

Also, the Dominion Atlantic is no longer on the side either. So this car was redecorated between 1949 and 1956 at which the Dominion Atlantic was takne off and Evangeline repainted in the opposite direction.

As you found the photo, perhaps you'd like to write and ask permission to use it on our site yourself I always let members have the choice of doing that themselves as you often meet some great people that way! Just copy me on the email if you choose so they can see the site is involved in the request.
