An intresting building.

Need to use up a station model and a passenger car? Well here is a building you can model.

This used to be the CN station in St. Boniface before it was part of Winnipeg. And yes the passenger car does have track under it.

Very neat! How about McDonalds?

If you look close, there's a blue boxcar end on the other side of the building.

Great pictures. I thought the car was fake until you showed the coupler. Thanks.

Why did nobody tell me about that before I went to Winnipeg?
The car ended its railway life as CN rules instruction car 15022, before that was CNR sleeper Trenton, and started as CNor 12-1 sleeper #9647. Built by CC&F in 1915 (according to the Trackside Guide).

Those are great examples. I was thinking about doing something similar to this just a couple of days ago. Thanks for providing me with some more ideas.

If you are ever in Winnipeg check this place out. Not only is is a neat building, but the French cuisine is excellent.Ron

Was it really good, or were you blinded by the fact that you were sitting in a real train car?

Been there. No really, I had a Big Mac and large fries, sitting in one of those cars.
Back in '84, when the U.S.Army thought it'd be a good idea for my unit to go to Ft.Irwin for a month

Also in Philipsburg, NJ, there is a nifty Penn Central Diner and Diner not far from the Easton brdige.
