Dominion Atlantic Railway Gondola No. 351091.
No. 351091 was a "Big Otis" gondola built in 1926 and rebuilt at CP's Angus shops in June of 1951, specially modified for DAR gypsum service. It is a good example of the standard wooden sided Big Otis gondolas used on DAR gypsum trains until the steel gypsum cars arrived in 1963. This car was in service on the DAR as a gypsum car until the arrival of the steel sided cars around 1963.
