| CP business car "Assiniboine" was basking in the evening sunlight in front of the Havelock station on July 4, 1992. The marker lights and ditch lights would be nice details to add to a model. |

Three
CP business cars were in attendance at the 100th Anniversary
celebrations for the Village of Havelock. (See August 16, 2018,
"Celebrating 100 Years in Style"). Each of these cars had been
constructed in the 1920s. CP 70, "Assiniboine," was named after the
Assiniboine Tribe in Western Canada. CP 73, "Mount Royal," had been
named after Montreal, the original home city of Canadian Pacific. Car
83, "Lacombe," had been named in honour of Father Albert Lacombe, who
had negotiated a right-of-way for the railway through Blackfoot lands.
Built in 1921, Lacombe was the oldest member of this group of veteran
business cars.

CP "Mount Royal" was built in 1927. It still looked pretty classy on July 04, 1992.
