The February 1952 Official Guide lists no Mountaineer nor trains 13 & 14 for the CP.
The June 1954 issue does, however, as trains13 and 14 runing late June to late August.
The Guide lists these cars:
1 Open observation Calgary/Vancouver
4 Sleepers St.Paul/Vancouver
1 Sleeper St.Paul/Banff
1 Diner Enderlin/Vancouver

Must be a seasonal train, catering to vacationers.

Yes yes, it was a seasonal train, travelling only in the summertime. But in my eyes one of the best seasonal trains ever, since he enjoyed All Pullman status and had no coaches.

I am almost certain that I have the Sunset Limited consist at home in my desk. I will look for it as soon as I get home and post that for you.

DeLuxe, since I have no clue as to why you're interested in these consists, I wonder how significant your dates are.

The sleepers come in several configurations but you have not asked for that data, either.

The Official Guide indicates what type of sleeper goes where since traffic agents needed to know what accomodations could be booked. Do you want or need this info?

I have only a limited number of Guides, reprint mainly:
June 1916
June 1921
Feb. 1926
Jan. 1930
Feb. 1938
May 1945
The two in the 50's
and the last one before AMTRAK, April '71

Are you interested in the consists for any of these dates, and if so, exactly what?
