"The Canadian" was introduced in April, 1955 by the Canadian Pacific, incorporating the latest in railroad technology. Built by Budd in the likeness of the famed California Zephyr, with fluted stainless steel and domes, the 172 cars ordered cost a mere $40 million! In 1968, these cars were painted in the CP Rail Action Red paint scheme and multimark. In 1977-78, mainline passenger rail service in Canada was taken over by the newly created Crown Corporation VIA Rail, and "The Canadian" was painted in a new livery. VIA's stainless steel fleet was refurbished and equipped for HEP operation between 1989 and 1994 and sported a larger VIA logo, small Canadian Flag and a new numbering system. 1999 saw another livery modification with the addition of "waving" Canadian flags and a large, white Government of Canada logo in the fluting along the side of each car. Railway Classics is pleased to offer this elegant train in all four versions, incorporating Ajin's pressed-fluted sides, correct, free-rolling trucks, working diaphragms, complete interiors including dome seating, and Kadee® couplers. Purchase of all three 1955 sets will provide all the cars necessary for a complete, "normal" consist of "The Canadian." Purchase of both sets in the -69, -78, -99 eras will provide all the cars necessary for a, "normal" consist of the "Canadian" and the add-on sets in each provide the typical extra cars added for peak season operation. For each 8-car set in all four eras, we will be offering an A and a B set with different car names and numbers so that two completely different trains may be obtained. The add-on sets will have A, B, and C sets.
