In July l e~61 the locomotive GEORGE VlASHING'l'ON , of the Phila­ delphia & CoJ.un.bia aailroad, built by \"J illi am Norri s of Philadelphia, made a gr eat nQ.rrlC "::Jr itself and f or its builder by performing the noteworthy feat of hauling a train, weiehing 19 , 200 pounds, up an inclined plane 2[~}OOO feet long and having a gradient of 1 in 14 , which is 7.1%. 'l'hc direct:.ors of the Champlain & cla int. Lawrence rrR decided that this was the kind of a locomotive they needed and the order was placed in the autumn of 1836. On March 27th, 1837 , Uilliam D.

The t\'l0 sister s ' jYlrt - 19 57 Page 42 Forster Kemp reports on ••••••• FOUR YEARS OF ROC'S IN CANADA Are they meeting the chall enge ? MORE THAN FOUR YEARS AGO , in February 1953 , the Budd Ear (RDC) first appeared in revenue ~ssenger service on a Canadian railway. Budd demonstrator car No . 2960 spent three weeks in revenue service on the , operating between Montreal and Mont Laurier, and won enthusiastic acceptance by the people of the Laurentian area, as it represented a great departure from the normal equipment of wooden, gas- lighted coaches. Since that time, more than 50 such cars have appeared on Canadian r a ilways -- on the Canadian Pacific, the Canadian National and the Pacific Great Eastern. They have been used to replace conventional trains on main lines , secondary lines and on branch lines, in both local and express services, and in a few cases, they have inaugurated new train services. On some routes. their rapid accel erati on and l ow­ er centres of gravity have cut running times to a greater extent than would ever have been possibl e with ordinary equipment. Their ease of operation enables trains to operates with a crew of two or three men, instead of the five or six required on regular trains . Al so . they consume less fuel than the usual diesel-el ectric or steam loco­ motive, so that passenger train costs may be cut in several ways.

However , some railway officials see t~em as a "cure- all" for the ills of railway passenger service, and that is the outlook with which we must diaagree . The RDC has many advantages , but it al so has disadvantages , which mainly accrue to t he passengers who use these cars , when compared with modern, locomotive-hauled cars. One of the chief definiencies is that , the Pacific Great Eastern excepted , no provision is made for mea l servi ce . RDC cars are ncW used on several runs where the time consumed.'exceeds four hours, and wh ere the schedule covers normal meal periods . In many cases , ~h_ trains which were supplanted by RDC services had buffet- coach, bl.l.. ~ 'C>~ t_ parlour or c~fe - parlour service. For example the exampl e the "l]:;t:­ liner" service betvleen Yarmouth and Halifax NS on the Dominion f.tJ 1n­ tic llailway requires 6 hours and 10 minutes eastbound, 6 hours end 15 minutes we:=;tbound . At Digby J it connects with the SS PRINCE3S H,·,J·gr.rz which carries passengers from Saint John , with Montreal and Bo ~~ on connections . If these passengers' appetites are disturbed by the sea voyage , they will probably not hc:. ve any opportunity to eat between the morning leaving time of the steamer from Saint John, a nd the arri­ val of the "Dayliner ll in Ha lifax at 6: 35 PI.l . Another disadvantage of the RDC units gener ally used i s that they are not equipped with reclining seats . Most of the day coaches built in recent years ~ave been so equipped and many trains replaced by RDC. services had reclining seat coaches. Thus we have , in effect, a down­ grading of service to the passenger s . RDC units are not permitted to haul other cars as trailers, and this limits the reserve capacity. Passenger traffic on many Canadian railways varies greatly from day t o day, usually rising to peak load l evel on weekends. Also, special groups move from time to t i me by trains, such as school cl asses , C.R .H. A. News Report - 1957 Page 43 clubs, teams, tours, etc . Vlith an ordinary train , extra equipment can usually be added to take care of these r equirements . With a limited number of RnCs assi.gned to a terminal passenger capacity is strictly limited. In add~tion , no special services, such as l ounge, parlour, buffet or sl~eping facilities, can be provided for special parties as on an ordinary t.rain. Therefore , as RDCs become more common, train travel will become less popular with these groups .

The RDC tends to reduce all train travel to a Ilcommon denomin­ ator". Parlour cars are ma inly operated for those who wish t.o have a quiet journey separated from rowdy individuals and noisy e:I-,l l dr'3n who , unfortunately, often travel in coac!1es . They are wi l liag to pay extra for increasen comfort, in this sense . H C"l ev~r , tb~:'e are as yet no "parlour'l RDCs and passengers must travel itcoach class ,l . Although the ROC is a smooth-riding car, the noise and vibration of the Wlder-floor engines, particularly when accelerating, reduces the comfort le;rel to considerabl y l ess than that of an ordinary passenger car. This becomes tiring, expecially on a long journey, and makes rail travel little better than riding in an automobile or motor bus . The baggage service is one of the chief advantages that railway travel has over other forms of passenger transport . Passen­ gers can have trunkS , bicycles , skis, dogs and even canoes forwarded with them on a train. However, some RDC services have only a small baggage space , and some , particularly on the Canadian Pacific sub­ sidiaries, the Dominion Atlantic, Quebec Central and Esquimalt & Nanaimo railways , have no baggage service whatsoever. \'lith all of these disadvantages , where should RDCs be used? There are qUite a number of lines \-There sisable towns receive only mediocire passenger serVice, ~~ th outdated equipment and slow sched­ ules . Examples of such lines a r e Canadi an National' s Ha lifax-Yarmouth, Moncton- Saint John (equipment good but schedul es slow), Montreal­ Granby":,, Waterloo , Hamil ton- 3imcoe-fill sonburg- St . Thomas, Longlacl.. Fort William , London-Palmerston-Kincardine- Southampton , and Canadian Pacific's Trois Ri vieres- Shawinigan Falls- Grand ' Mere, Montreal - J o l~ ::~t e ­ St. Gabriel Ottawa-Prescott , Kineston- Renfrew, Orangeville- Tee.!:;\ojn-o:or , Woodstock-St . Thomas and Woodstock-Tillsonburg routes. On both sY3 tems there are a l arge number of lines in western Canad ~ where p-1.s~one:( ~ l· service was greatly reduced, but coul d be revita l ized by an i nfus:on of ROCs . Many of these lines have onl y a s l ow mixed train SeI'vi.c0 which carries passengers who onl y ride as a l ast resort. Can we blame them? Introduction of modern RDC service "lOuld have to be accompanied by an agross ive publicity campaign, with paid advertising in we~kly newspaper 3, the edi tors of wh i ch a r e influential among the people of smaller commun i ties. Another point is that whe r e running time is reduced by the use of ROC equipment , schedul es of connecting lines shoul d be alter ed to mak e convenient connections . Connections are often the answer to continued good patronage . This wa$ most obvious with the discontin­ uance of trains 17 and 18 by the C.P. R. between Montreal and Sudbury, which formerly offered close connections wi th the tlDayliner" between :r.1attawa and Ang liers . This is now a five- hour connection, with No.9 and a 4 hour, 27 minute connection with No . 8 a t 14attawa. Patronage has suffered to the extent that it would not be surprising if the service reverts to mixed trains , one of these days . C.R.H.A . News Report - 19 57 Page 44 Simil arly, local services on main lines l end themsel ves well to use of RDC equipment , but schedules should be arr anged to make con­ venient connections "lith throngh t.rains a nd trai ns of other routes .

K Another Canadian National Railways line is even nearer to compl etion. It is the r elocation of the Cornwall Subdivision between Cornwall and Cardinal, Ontario, which is expected to be open to freight traffic in May . About 15 mil es of ballasting in the vicinity of Long Sault and Ingleside have yet to be completed, and the tracks must be lifted , l evelled and trinuned . Five ne\"l stations are under construction at Cornwall, Long Sault, IngleSide, Iroquois and Morrisburg. Work on the Cornwall station is expected to be compl et­ ed in June . The Cornwall building is of ultra- modern design, with brick walls and aluminum trim. It measures 168 ' by 38' . It is about one mil e north of the present station, as the relocated line begins east of the Cornwall city limi ts . The present station is the original Grand Trunk Ra ilway stone bUilding, to which two additions, each as long as the original building, have been made .
