Fly Away with Rapido’s Balloon Top Coaches!

The Balloon Top coaches – or “Canadian Flyers” as they often called by railfans – are a series of 50 day coaches built by Canadian Car & Foundry in 1937 for Canadian National, numbered 5180-5229. (An order of 25 additional cars was delivered in 1942, with significant spotting differences.) The 1937 Balloon Tops were transferred to VIA Rail Canada in 1978, and the last car – 5186 – was finally retired in 1996!
