Manor series

The Manor series is a fleet of 42 lightweight streamlined sleeping cars built by the Budd Company for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1954–1955.

Via Rail acquired the fleet from the Canadian Pacific in 1978 and the cars remain in active service.

The cars were constructed of stainless steel; save for a Tuscan red letterboard bearing the name "Canadian Pacific" they were unpainted.

As built each contained five bedrooms, one compartment, four sections and four roomettes for a maximum capacity of 24 passengers.

One, Aylmer Manor, caught fire on January 18, 1987, and was used as a testbed for Via's HEP conversion programme.
