Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada
The latest acquisition in the Alberta Central Railway Museum collection is the Rail Diesel Car 9108, better known as a Dayliner. This car operated on passenger runs from Montreal Windsor Station on passenger runs in Quebec and to New York State from 1956 until 1977 and as a commuter train until 1985. This same equipment ran from Calgary to Edmonton from 1955 until 1985. After 1977, it was operated by VIA Rail Canada. The Canadian Pacific Railway converted this RDC to an exhibit and instruction car in 1985 and renumbered it as Car 91.
At Alberta Central Railway Museum, it will be restored with the passenger and baggage combination as built in 1956 by the Budd Car Manufacturing Company. When refurbished, it will be used on Alberta Central Railway Museum's trackage, with plans to convert part of the car for use as a lunch facility.
