First Passengers Impressed By New Trans-Continental Train (The following story is by Cecil Hacker, publisher of the Abbotsford-Sumas-Matsqui News who represented B.C. Division of Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association on the inauguration east bound run of The Canadian Pacific stream- liner ‘‘The Canadian” from Vancouver Sunday night.) “Moose are even dumber. There is a big bull around here who seems to think this horn sounds a mating eal, He talks back to us.” Stan Jones, Can: n Pacific Diesel Sup- erintendent, grinned as he shouted to make himself beard above the strident blasts Engineer Art Camp- bell was sounding. We were riding the cab of “The Canadian,” the all- steel streamliner which left Vancou- yer on its east bound inaugural run Sunday night. As we rounded a curve between Lake Louise and Banff, Engineer Campbell spied four elk resting on the track. Unimpressed by the newest thing in Canadian transport, the elk took their own sweet time to give the streamliner right of way. Campbell ‘braked it, finally let 4,750 horse- ' power go to work again as the elk made their leisurely withdrawal. On the straightaways, The Cana- dian hits a surprising mile a minute clip even in the mountins. East of Calgary, she really pick up her heels. A plate in front of the Engineer warns, with reason: ‘Maximum per- missive operating speed of this unit is 89 miles per hour” on the fiat- lands, The Canadian does that with ease. In the montains, however, the pace is more casual and passengers get both a smooth ride and time to en- joy the scenery. Monday was clear, with a few white clouds against the blue sky. Peaks stood out clear, and Ready For Sp CARS - ?*52 Chevrolet Sedan 749 Mercury Sedan ’4'7 Packard Sedan 752 Meteor Club Coupe TRUCKS ’52 Dodge Pick-up ’61 Ford Panel ’48 International Pickup "48 Fargo Panel Have you really looked over The New Fords Tops in performance, style and driving comfort See Them On Display! ring Driving Come in and look over these models . . . you’ll find they are priced to suit your budget and are in good mechanical condition from the two dome cars of the new streamliner passengers obtained a iruly sky-view of the Rockies in all their glory. Mondy we saw herds of elk brows- ing in the marshlands east of Lake Louise, one cow moose and of course plenty of ducks. But Stan Jones fail- ed to sight his friend the big bull moose. EVERYONE OUT Almost everyone else in the moun- tain country was out to see The Canadian. Early morning crowds thronged the station at Revelstoke. At Banff the platform was packed, and even the school children were lined up with their teachers to see the new streamliner, On the platforms, residents took pictures of the train. From The (Canadian, television and press cam- eras shot the natives. Aboard the deluxe train, amateur photographers had. a field day today. Over the public address system the voice of Cal George, well known Vancouver radio announcer, tipped them to approaching beauty spots. Printed matter descriptive of The Canadian includes recommended ex- posures for various film speeds. ‘There are plenty of other surprises board the quarter mile long stream- liner. Meals are announced over the public address system,, and music plays softly through daylight and evening hours. Even the Conductor has to be part time announcer, tell- ing you in advance the time and duration of each stop. There are two rolling restaurants on this new train. One is a spanking- ly modern diner, with its courtley steward and crew of 12. Its wide picture windows and pastel decorat- ive scheme bear little resemblance to an old fashioned railway dining car. However, the prices are familiar. Popular priced meals are available in the. forward scenie dome car, which boasts a smart coffee shop. NEW STANDARD ’ Entry of The Canadian into ser- vice highlights The Canadian Paci- fie’s purchase of 173 streamlined. stainless steel coaches from the Budd Company of Philadelphia, a $40,- 000,000 order which spells a new standard for transcontinental travel. It means 16 hours less travel time from Montreal to Vancouver, plus a much smoother ride, Part of tfhe saving in time is by speed of the big diesel units, part by ‘shortened stops at big cities, part by eliminating of stops between di- visional points. We went through Mission City so fast Sunday night one hardly noticed it. North Bend is the only stop between Port Co- qitlam and Kamloops. The Canadian makes no_ stops from Kamloops to Revelstoke so if Okanagan or Fraser Valley travelers want to hoard it they must do so at Kamloops or the coast. Smoothness of the strealiner’s tiding qualities and the comfort of its air conditioning may be judged from the fact that we slept from Ag- assiz clear through to Revelstoke. Interior appointments of The Canadian are striking. In the scenic dome lounge cars are murals painted by noted Canadian artists, depict- ing scenes from National or Provin- cial Parks after which the cars are named. ‘ Es Sleeping accommodation on The Canadian consists of five classifica- tions, ranging from private drawing rooms in the lounge cars to conyen- tioal tourist coach berths. Day coaches are strikingly modern, both in appointments and decorative ef- fects. The Coffee Shop - Dome Car is located forward of the Diner, for the convenience of Tourist and Day Coarh passengers. Inaugural run of The Canadian left Vancouver amid ceremonial fan- fare. Chief Justice Gordon M. Sloan (Continued on page 10) Dated April 26, 1955.
