Park series
The Park series or Park car is a fleet of lightweight streamlined dome-sleeper-observation cars built by the Budd Company for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1954. Each of the 18 cars was named for a Canadian national or provincial park. Via Rail acquired the fleet from the Canadian Pacific in 1978 and the cars remain in active service.
== Design ==
The cars were constructed of stainless steel; save for a Tuscan red letterboard bearing the name "Canadian Pacific" they were unpainted.〔 Each car was named for a Canadian national or provincial park but did not carry numbers. The interiors were largely plastic, including the handrails up to the dome area. Inside at the front of the car were four private rooms: three double bedrooms and one drawing room. A single hallway led to the "Mural lounge." As built in 1954, each lounge had a specially-commissioned mural depicting the car's namesake. Each car also included a map of the park. At the rear of the car was the observation lounge, with seating for thirteen. Stairs led up to the dome, with seating for 24. At the time of their construction in 1954 the listed capacity throughout the car was 54 persons. Via removed the murals in 1986. During a rebuild in the 1990s a panel of clocks was added to the observation lounge showing the different time zones in Canada.〔
