C.N.R. report

...

Canadian Railways are finally offering a service to travellers that has been available to British and European tourists for many years; that is, the transportation of his automobile while its owner travels by passenger train. The service, called Car-go-rail by the C.N.R., is provided by blue-painted box cars moved on a regular schedule by fast freight train (in Europe, the passengers and auto travel on the same train) while the automobiles are handled at each end of the journey by local car-rental agents. At present, the service is available from Toronto or Montréal to Winnipeg, Edmonton or Vancouver, and from Winnipeg to Vancouver or from Edmonton to Vancouver. While such a service was available in the past, the Car-go-rail scheme gives faster, cheaper and more reliable service than previously.
