 Built by American Car and Foundry for the Missouri
Pacific Railroad as a Dining Car in 1929, this car became MPPR's Business
Car No. 7 after conversion in the Railroad's Sedalia, Missouri shops and
is reputed to have once belonged to P.T. Barnum, of Barnum and Bailey
Circus fame.

| Pacific Great Eastern Railway - the
predecessor to B.C. Rail bought the car in 1964 and continued to employ it
as a business Car under her present name, Caribou. The car takes it's name
from the game animal, indigenous to northern British Columbia and
elsewhere, as opposed to B.C. Rail's scheduled passenger train which is
named after the Cariboo Gold Rush, and the Cariboo Tourism Region it
serves year-round. |
