RBMN 1125 “Ellerslie”
Title:  RBMN 1125 “Ellerslie”
Description:  The “E” series sleeper was the most common lightweight sleeping car that the Canadian National rostered. All 52 of them contained 4 sections, 8 duplex roomettes and 4 double bedrooms and were named after Canadian cities and towns whose names begin with "E.". The order was built by Pullman-Standard (lot 6922, plan 4124A), and delivered between January and April 1954. They featured Electro mechanical air conditioning, a 110 volt electrical system and 4 wheel-outside swing hanger trucks. Cars # 1120 to 1127 were immediately leased to Pullman by CN for joint Canada / US service from 1954 to 1959. CN sent the entire lot (class PS-79-C) to VIA Canada in 1978. The cars were never modernized, only receiving some reupholstering before VIA started selling them off in the early 90s. Car #1125 “Ellerslie” was sold in 1996 to railroad holding company Iron Road and assigned to the Bangor & Aroostook. To Iowa Pacific 2014. Bought by Reading and Northern at auction 2021.
