Dominion Atlantic Railway Combine (Baggage Smoking) No. 32.

No. 32 was built by James Harris and Company in Saint John, New Brunswick in 1887 as a sister car to No. 31 in 1890.(1)

  • Seating Capacity: 40 people
  • 4 wheel trucks.
  • Length: 57'-2" or 57'-0"(2)

The Canadian Car & Foundry - Amherst Builders photo gives a date of 1923 which is likely the date when the cupola was added during a major rebuild.

The car was re-numbered and converted to Van No. 91 in June 1941.(1) It was eventually sold for scrap to a construction company in New Minas, Nova Scotia where it was used as a storage building.(3)
