CN (ex-Reading) Crusader cars at Toronto - Dec 1980.

Built by Budd in 1937 for Readings Crusader train.
The observation car (#302) was a 56 seat coach - lounge.
The other car (don't have the number) was probably one of the 56 seat coaches with a smoking lounge.
One of the observation cars is now at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg.
Thanks to David Garon for this info.

Always something interesting at the CN Spadina shops in Toronto including RS18 and F units. RDC, steam generator cars,old tank cars etc.
A slight change currently? From what I've heard, this shop and yards have been gone for a while.
