DAR Mystery Train<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Collectors of old images sometimes concentrate on transportation photos, or have a subset of their collection comprising of transportation\/train photos. Here is a mystery you perhaps can solve.<\/p>\n

Jeff Ward in Halifax dropped me a line the other day about a cutting he discovered in the old “Times-Transcript” for August 23, 1913. In further research \u00a0He found a link to a wiki on the DAR.<\/p>\n

Jeff writes, “I noticed the attached ad<\/a> in a Moncton newspaper (The Times-Transcript) from 1913, mentioning a CPR Photo Car. I wonder if you would be interested in posting it to your blog to see if anybody knows anything about it?<\/p>\n

“I was also given a link to a record which suggests the vehicle was rebuilt in 1920. Here is the link” to the DAR home page.<\/a><\/p>\n

I sent out Jeff’s request to some other members to give some broader access. By the way, collectors of old images may find some to their liking at our 2026 events such as the Spring Fair coming up on May 24th. As the date approaches I will pin a poster and details to the top of this web site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
