CNR 7195 Combine Car

CN 7195, a railway Combine car, was brought to RMEO in Smiths Falls in 1990. In its early years here it received some attention, but then was neglected for a while. Starting in the summer of 2012 Norm began to restore the railway car to what it looked like in 1956 when it entered service as a Combine. It is now the spring of 2014, and while Norm has made good progress, there is still years of work left to restore it. For Norm’s full story click here.

CP 437183 Plywood Caboose

This Canadian Pacific caboose was built in 1945, the current plywood siding was added later in its life. CP 437 183 was built in the same series as the Yellow CP Caboose 437 169.

This caboose was built during the WWII material rationing period and thus has plywood siding. It also uses Westinghouse K triple valve automatic air brake system. The caboose was used in the Smiths Falls area and is now fully restored and used as a museum work car.
