Dominion Atlantic Railway Sleeping Car "Kisbey"
Kisbey and its sister car Keoma arrrived on the DAR in September 1937 and were the first steel sleepers assigned to the DAR.[1] They were K Class sleepers built by Pullman in 1913 for Canadian Pacific. The thirteen sleepers, each with 12 sections and 1 bedroom were all named after Canadian towns that started with "K".[2] Kisbey was scrapped in October 1956.[3]
