Coach 107

Coach 107  was built of wood by Canadian Pacific Angus Shops of Montreal Quebec in 1911 and served the Canadian Pacific Railway until it was sold to the Greater Winnipeg Water District Railway in 1956. In 1970 it became the property of The Vintage Locomotive Society through an equipment trade with the G.W.W.D. and was placed in service in 1972.
This coach features mahogany and oak paneling, suspended pinch gas lamps, brass match striker plates at every seat, separate men's and women's lavatories and a pot bellied coal stove. Coach 107 is always the last coach on the Prairie Dog train primarily because it has a full width enclosed vestibule with windows looking back on the track. This area is useful for the Conductor and Brakeman when the train is being operated in reverse as it permits a vantage point for safe backward movement under their control and in communication with the engineer. Coach 107 has a maximum capacity of 72 passengers.
