1899-05-20 Unidentified Passenger CarsAt the Elgin street depot several handsome passenger coaches were turned out last week and the erection of several more is under way. At the new car works about 200 stock cars have been built and these are giving excellent satisfaction on the road. The building of the refrigerator cars is going ahead rapidly, and about 25 will be sent out of the works at once.Ottawa Free Press 1899-05-20(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...)

1900-05-21 Unidentified Passenger CarsThe car shops of the Canada Atlantic Railway have just turned out a landscape passenger car, seventy feet in length. It is finished on the outside in birch and presents a fine appearance. The coach is divided into three apartments, first and second class with baggage in between. ... The Canada Atlantic will probably erect this summer a large paint shop in connection with its buildings at Ottawa East. The proposed structure will be about 300 feet long and 70 feet wide. ... It is likely that the shops at Elgin street will be discarded in the near future in order that all the manufacturing buildings may be adjacent to each other.Ottawa Citizen 1900-05-21(Transcribed by Colin J. Churcher in 'Local Railway...)
