The 1171 is not listed in the 1967 Canadian National Passenger Equipment book distributed by Upper Canada Railway Society.

In Canadian National Railways: Passenger Equipment 1867-1992 we find this information:

Quote:

CN 1171 GREEN HARBOUR wr. Port Huron, MI 10/59

So it was wrecked when it was only about five years old.

Green Bank would be 1177. Was recently sold to an owner in Michigan.
