The door posts are 4-in. end posts are riveted to the outer face of the end sill, thewhole construction forming an into-telescoping partition. The hood construction is such as to form practically a hori-zontal girder by which any load against the upper part of thevestibule end posts is distributed to the side frames of the car. bearings are also used. In common with all railroads operating in northern climates,it is the practice of the Canadian Northern to use a combinationheating system. The cars are equipped with the Gold Car Heating& Lighting Companys 2-in. by 1-in. duplex coil system of hotwater circulation, it being possible to have both fire and steam inthe heater at the same time.
