Here’s the genuine article……

Looks like it’s on the back end of a train just arriving, backing in to Union Station.

There is what looks like a guy wearing a white shirt and tie in the dome, and he seems to be facing forward. The diagram shows short end forward.

So all the evidence points to the model as being backward.

My only personal experience with Canadian domes was on the Chaleur, close to fifteen years ago, and I don’t remember. My pictures would have been prints (long story) and I have no idea where those are, but info on those cars shouldn’t be hard to come by. I still find this hard to believe, though.
