Re: LV
If you look in a couple of the LV photo books (Morning Sun et al.) you will 
find several photos of the Maple Leaf, with its CN sleepers. LV sleepers 
weren't used on the train iat least in later years; although making a statement like 
this can be problematic---quite often when such is done, someone will come 
with an arcane contradicting incident! The LV sleepers were all older "standard" 
cars, like the Lackawanna's e.g. Bowman Lake. The CN cars were the modern 
streamlined cars. (We rode in a similar CN car a couple of weeks ago from 
Vancouver to Jasper--car was a 6-6-3---6 roomettes, 6DBr, 3 sections-which were in 
use (not by us). Great trip-dome, diner,etc)  The train (Maple Leaf)ran 
eastbound via the Mountain Cut-off. Picked up a diner lounge/cafe-lounge (I think) at 
Lehighton eastbound. Does on my railroad as well--I make the crew ensure that 
the D/L-C/L (usually1000) is placed between the coaches and the 
sleepers.Sometimes I uses a DL&W car, for list content.
