Named Passenger Cars

Named Passenger Cars

Grand Pre in front of the Kentville Car Shop circa 1938.

The DAR named many of its passenger cars after historical, cultural and literary figures. This alphabetical index shows the know passenger car names that were used by the DAR and are linked to the page for each car. Most named cars also had a number, although some cars such as parlour and dining cars only had names. CPR cars assigned to the DAR also sometimes had names, especially parlour, sleeping and dining cars. The DAR also had a tradition of naming steam locomotives, see Named Locomotives.
