Superb CNR.
This is the way CNR trains should look. Most beautiful continuous paint scheme in railroading.
Per Ian Wilson’s book “Speed Graphics and Steam 1957,” number 11 sets off a block of coaches at Guelph during warmer months, and Stratford in cooler months as the latter can provide steam heat to the cars.
