Canadian Pacific Railway

1400 1900 Passenger F Units

Number 1 The Canadian led by 1404_1903_1409 westbound on track 4 Ottawa Union station. CNR cars at right are on track 5, a yard track. Note the white wagon used only for ice for air conditioning. Six 300 lbs. blocks would be loaded into underslung bunkers. Parlor cars took 18 blocks, almost 3 tons! No easy task. Further, it was common for two carmen to go through a car and a half of ice per 8 hour shift! Smaller ice, used for drinking water was handled by the "ice man".
