Story

This barge, rail car was built in 1909 by Wallace Shipyards Ltd., North Vancouver BC.

Historical Notes

The name painted on the hull is C.P.R. Steel Barge No. 1 - but the official registered name was simply C.P.R. No. 1 - another case of a capricious name change by employees who can confuse the historical record.
