Flying Bluenose


The ''Flying Bluenose'' was a Canadian luxury passenger train operated by the Dominion Atlantic Railway between Halifax, Nova Scotia and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia from 1891 to 1936. It was a boat train scheduled to connect with passenger steamships to Boston and ran only during the summer months.
==History==
This summertime fast luxury train was the premier passenger service on the Dominion Atlantic Railway. It began in 1891 when the "missing gap" between Digby and Annapolis Royal was completed linking Halifax and Yarmouth by rail for the first time. This created an opportunity for a fast luxury service aimed at American tourists connecting Halifax with passenger steamers at Yarmouth. The name ''Flying Bluenose'' combined two earlier trains of the Windsor and Annapolis Railway, the ''Flying Acadian'' and the ''Bluenose''.
The name was taken from an affectionate nickname for Nova Scotians and predated the name of the famous racing schooner Bluenose by many years. The Dominion Atlantic purchased the first Pullman parlour cars in all of Canada, the "Haligonian" and "Mayflower" for the run. After the Canadian Pacific Railway purchased the Dominion Atlantic in 1912, buffet observation cars were added, carrying the Dominion Atlantic's "land of Evangeline" herald on drumheads. The train successfully tapped a growing tourism market from New England and was an immediate success. It was joined by the ''New Yorker'' in the 1920s, a similar fast summer-only train which connected to New York steamships at Yarmouth. However a steep decline in travel during the Great Depression eroded the market for the ''Flying Bluenose'' and it was cancelled about 1936. Equipment and services were transferred to the Dominion Atlantic's daily fast passenger trains which continued many of the traditions of the ''Flying Bluenose'' such as open observation cars, fresh Digby scallops and flower arrangements from the Grand Pre memorial gardens. VIA Rail's ''Evangeline'' Dayliner maintained the route of the ''Flying Bluenose'' until 1989, minus the luxurious elements of the older train.
