And in contrast to the doodlebug - here's a fairly new Railliner in front of the Stratford Station in 1959. Note the flags.

Caption: And in contrast to the doodlebug - here's a fairly new Railliner (CN's term for Budd RDC cars) in front of the Stratford Station in 1959. Note the flags and crests adorning the station.

CN D352 is a Budd RDC-3 built two years earlier in June 1957. It would later be renumbered CN 6352, and rebuilt as RDC-1 6120 (with more seating) before going on to serve VIA, and eventually being sold to operate in Cuba.

HM The Queen visited Stratford that summer as part of the 45-day tour which included the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway. The flags were obviously still in place.
