Dominion Atlantic Railway Sleeping Car "Keoma"
Keoma and its sister car Kisbey arrrived on the DAR on September 21, 1937 for use on the DAR's overnight trains No. 99 and No. 100. They were the first steel sleepers assigned to the DAR.[1] They were K Class sleepers built by the Pullman Company 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] Keoma was scrapped in June 1959.[3]
