These cars made up the club's passenger fleet during the early years, several
having been converted from sideless original carriages from C.P.R. with
wooden sides ans cushion seats. Referred to as our "coffin" cars, most were withdrawn
as newer carriages were introduced. Four remain useable painted in a green with a
yellow strip. Three have had their sides removed and fitted
with rackes to form part of our signal train their future in this function are numbered.
