I found this passenger sitting alone with his thoughts in a vintage observation car on “The Canadian” running between Toronto and Vancouver. This car entered service in the mid-1950s, and has changed very little since. The curving glass windows look out on forests of pine and a track that seems to follow the train forever.
The chairs that circle the interior of the car have been cradling passengers for more than a half-century, encasing this traveler in nostalgic atmosphere. His mood is reflective – perhaps he may be thinking of past journeys in similar railroad cars over the years?
