Mr. Nutbar, I really like that mixed train. It reminds me of CN 1950s steam film on some of my DVDs. I'm wondering, though, about the streamlined coach on the rear -- I assume there's no steam line going throught the freight cars, so it can't be very chilly out, or the coach passengers would be complaining. On the other hand, there's no open-window capability on the air conditioned coach, so things would be pretty stuffy with no a/c working either. Did the CN actually do thngs this way?
