Dominion Atlantic Railway Rail Diesel Cars
Self propelled passenger cars called "Dayliners" in C.P.R. vernacular. The DAR's Dayliners provided the Evangeline named passenger service beginning in 1956.
Only Dayliners No. 9058 and No. 9059, the two orginally lettered as Dominion Atlantic Dayliners, have been assigned DARxxxx pages. The rest have been assigned CPRxxxx or VIAxxxx pages as these units seemed to have wandered in and out of service on the D.A.R. at the pleasure of the C.P.R.
We are still trying to find out what the real official first day of operation was for the Dayliners. So far we have 3 dates reported from various sources and those are the 21st, the 26th and the 27th of August 1956. Perhaps one day we'll run across a newspaper clipping that will solve the issue once and for all.
