This Pullman-built sleeper is a walk-through car on display at the Galveston Railroad Museum. Built in 1954 for the Canadian National, its configuration is unusual, as it features both prewar-style open berths and postwar-style roomettes and salons.
Named the Edwardsville by CN, it remained in service until 1971, when ownership was assumed by newly-formed VIA Rail Canada. In 2020 the Edwardsville was repainted Pullman green, lettered for the MCTC, and renamed the Donald E. Harper. Mr. Harper was a longtime member of the Galveston Railroad Museum board.
