DAR000907
Dominion Atlantic Railway Snowplow No. 907
This wooden snowplow was built in 1906 and came to the DAR in 1929 as CPR snowplow 400720, the first CPR snowplow to be transferred to the DAR. It was renumbered as DAR 907 in the 1930s[1] and is listed as DAR equipment built in 1906 in the 1947 M.P. 14 Motive Power Rosters [2]. A note on the back of photo SGM-B0091 says that it was rebuilt in 1938. Perhaps it was at this time it was renumbered to 907.
