McCloud Rails : Equipment & Rolling Stock Details

|
|
| MR 1 through 5: |
The McCloud Railway purchased a total of five of these cars from the Feather River Rail Society in late 1995/early 1996 for use on excursions. The cars came from VIA Rail, where they were once in passenger service across Canada. VIA Rail obtained the cars from several different sources; some of these cars are reported to have originally served on the Milwaukee Road. |
