Nechako Coach

History of the Nechako

The Grand Trunk Pacific coach "Nechako" was built in 1913 by the Pullman Company as a tourist sleeping car numbered 3410. It was gutted by a fire in 1915 and was subsequently converted to a business car at the Moncton CN Railshop, joining the fleet of business cars in 1919. It was steel plated in 1926 and used mostly in Eastern Canada.

The Nechako came west to Edmonton in 1974 and was to have been used on the Great Slave Lake Railway. Instead it was marked for sale the next year. In 1976 it was moved to Vancouver and converted for use as a Canadian National reception centre.

In the spring of 1978 the Nechako was restored to its original Grand Trunk colours, and in 1980 the interior was redesigned. It was completely refurbished for Expo '86 in the spring of 1985 and again served as CN's V.I.P. reception centre. In 1988 the Nechako was once again marked for sale. We feel extremely fortunate to have acquired what may well be the last of the former Grand Trunk rolling stock available to the public.
