Dominion Atlantic Railway Service Car No. 851.
Built as passenger coach No. 6 in 1869 by the Windsor and Annapolis Railway it was converted to Boarding Car No. 851 in June of 1915 and scrapped in 1939. It is lettered "Service" indicating MOW service, leading someone to inscribe the photograph as a "service car" but it was serving as a crew car.
