Passengers on Canadian National’s Scotian between Montreal and Halifax, Nova Scotia, enjoy the view from one of CN’s “Skyview” sleeper-observation cars in September 1967. Built by Pullman-Standard for the Milwaukee Road’s Olympian Hiawatha, the six “Skytop” cars, as MILW called them, were sold to CN after the Olympian Hi was discontinued.
