Hi all
Well I know about church cars I might evan have an artile or two about them.
But does anyone know of school cars and where plans or other information might be found??
regards John Busby
John:
I seem to remember reading a few years ago that a couple of kitchen/dinning cars were used as makeshift adult night schools. I don not recall where I read this, but I think it was done mostly to "Americanize" "forign" work crews. If you are talking about a temporary elementary school (for the children of work crews) then I have no such information.

Hi ttrigg
I am thinking mobile government school like you would expect to find on a very large timber/Logging type opperation.
I know they had one on the local wood lines but the local Historical Society and The Education Department have absalutely nothing on it at all, other than it did exist.
I just though anyone else wanting information on school or dental cars can look up in
(1) CN Lines volume 14 #2 , dentist cars etc.
(2) Train Country By Donald MacKay & Lorne Perry
(3) Or Google Clinton Ontario Railway Museum, And go to Sloman school car
That the best I could do for John and I hope it can help you
