The new and the old side by side. The Dayliner appears to be on tour likely at Kentville.
Note extra (white) flag on front of 9058. Also, ENTRANCE sign at right rear of Car.

This old 8 x 10 shows that the Extra 9058 has attracted a lot of people to look and ride the new Dayliner.
It is said over 11,000 people toured the train at various points along the line.

Two scheduled DAR westbounds are connecting at Windsor, Nova Scotia. The 2501 would be the Mixed No. 11

This is a mid-summer August 1956 to 1958 photo. Note: 2501 was transferred to DAR 7/1958.
