Historical Significance:

The Dominion Atlantic Railway was affectionately known as the "Land of Evangeline Route," serving the fertile Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. The railway transported agricultural products, particularly apples, from the valley to ports and markets. These 36-foot Fowler boxcars were workhorses of the fleet, handling general freight and agricultural commodities throughout the railway's service area. The DAR became part of Canadian Pacific Railway operations and its distinctive red and white livery remains iconic in Canadian railway history.
