The only B&M 6-6-4 I can find in B&M paint is "Salisbury Beach" from the same series. Both Dartmouth College I and II ended up on CN and later VIA. I did go see "Dunkirk" in Spaulding Auditorium a couple of weeks ago, and have seen many concerts, performances and movies there over the last 40 years. I live and work nearby.
passengerfan Fourteen used sleeping cars arrived on the CN in February 1965 from two different U.S. roads. From The Bangor and Aroostook came the only two lightweight streamlined sleeping cars ever purchased by that road a pair of 6 Section 6 Roomette 4 Double Bedroom Sleeping cars delivered by Pullman Standard in November - December 1954. These cars were built to Plan: 4194 in Lot: 6942. The two Bangor and Aroostook cars were part of a six car order with the other four being delivered to the Boston & Maine and used in pool service with the BAR cars. The four ex B & M cars would join the BAR cars in CN service beginning in February 1966 one year later. 1190 GREEN GABLES originally BAR 80 NORTH TWIN LAKES 1191 GREENOCK originally BAR 81 SOUTH TWIN LAKES 1192 GREENDALE ex B&M 31 DARTMOUTH COLLEGE I originally B&M 31 HAMPTON BEACH 1193 GREEN HARBOUR ex B&M 32 DARTMOUTH COLLEGE II originally B&M 32 OLD ORCHARD BEACH 1194 GREENHURST originally B&M 33 RYE BEACH 1195 GREENWALD originally B&M 34 SALISBURY BEACH

RC, you might wish to do Dartmouth a great favor. There is absolutely no reason for the high-level amplification loudspeakers to be so unsightly! Good coverage from massive loudspeakers with modern equipment can be arranged by 1. rehabilitating the original speech reinforcment system with the latest and best high-frequency drivers and cone "woofer;" and 2. one set of computer-steered-covreage-array large column loudspeakers against both the left and right stage walls at the front of the stage.
When I did the acoustics work, I was an employee of Bolt Beranek and Newman. The successor firm, still in Cambridge, MA., is Acentech, and Larry Philbrick or Tom Horrall there are excellent sound system designers who could do an excellent job in meeting the demands of their audio-visual people and still restore the orginal cleaner appearance. Other firms include the successor to my firm, Marshall/KMK in Chappaqua, NY, and Dan Clayton and Associates, also in Chappaqua.
I assume you have enjoyed plays in the two theatres, and occasional motion pictures.
Under Spaulding Auditorium are a reshearsal room/recording studio with control room. The sound-isolation construction between the two was a pioneering design that has been used many times and is still in use. Spaulding was one of the first two halls of BBN that attempted to combine claritiy with reverberation.
If you know peole at Dartmouth, you might mention the idea. And my cousin David Louis, approximately my age and a classmate at Columbia Grammer Prep., was at Dartmouth when I was an MIT undergraduate.
Please post Salisbury Beach. I can alter the name and repost it as Dartmouth College I.

Quite the history. Civil insurrection, Papineau rebellion Quebecers, Civil War Confederates, the Fenians, not to mention the War of 1812.
So sad, that overwhelmingly, so many folks, particularly the millenium generations, university students at that, haven't got a clue or even care to.
From my posting earlier in the Passenger Thread:
Only exception along the Canada US border I am aware of is the Haskel Free Library and Opera House in Derby, Vermont and Stanstead, Quebec as the border goes right though the centre of it.
Even that has tightened up since 911.
Here's a trivia question to pull on your friends....what is the only library in the USA that contains no books? A. The Haskel Library in Derby, Vermont as all the books are located on the Canadian side.
And..What is the only Opera House in the USA without a stage? A.The Haskell Free Opera House as all the seats are in the USA and the stage is in Canada.
Have you ever been to that spot Wanswheel?, or anyone else? Not too far from the disasterous Magentic wreck.
I am told the Opera House has "perfect acoustics" ...wonder if Dave K. has ever been there?
Miningman Have you ever been to that spot Wanswheel?
Have you ever been to that spot Wanswheel?
Not yet. I wonder if this Rock Island was named after the Rock Island.
The Rock Island name disappeared when 3 towns amalgamated to form the new town of Stanstead in 1999. Too bad, Rock Island was way better. The Rock Island name came from a damn constructed for a mill way way back when and a new elbow built for the river, thus creating a 'rock island". However.....we know better.
The border was supposed to be along the 45th parallel but the surveyors, both American and Canadian, got drunk a lot, and the border ended up sort of along the 45th parallel. Thus it remained.
The border goes right down the middle of a residential street, marked by the center line. America on one side of the street Canada on the other side. Can you imagine that? Gotta be some hijinks going on, customs officers must go batty at times.
Invigulating an exam right now...a 3 hour job, used up 1 hour 45 minutes but now I'm out of things to do and just staring off into space.
