This was the last version of the Edmonton-Calgary rail connection. May I present 'The Dayliner'.

In 1955 the Budd 'Dayliner' was introduced to the service, the journey time was reduced to 3 1/2 hours, with 3 trains per day carrying 80,000 passengers in 1969.
By 1982 the service was reduced to 1 train a day, and in 1985 the service was terminated.
