Here is the Northland, with coach and sleeper on its way out of
Cochrane. It would pick up a diner and additional sleepers and coaches
on its way to Toronto via North Bay.
The following photos are of the Polar Bear Express, which ran from
Cochrane up to Moosonee. The day I rode it there were approximately 20
coaches, lounges and food service cars that were jam packed.

occasions a dome.
