Canadian National Named Trains on the Dundas Subdivision
Posted by NW_611 on Monday, August 14, 2006 10:43 PM
Folks,

Any of y'all know what the CNR was running in terms of long-range named trains on the Dundas Subdivision shortly after the 1961 livery change? Names, schedules, and suggested consists would be greatly appreciated; I've got a pair of green-and-black CLC cab units that I'd like to use with either green-and-black or 1961 liveried cars.

Thanks for any responses.

That's good enough! I'll be able to take it from there and fudge the dates just a bit where necessary.
