Hey Hoser,
I don't know about the Great White South, but up here the cars were
positionned with the baggage end toward the train. This was because the
postal area belonged or was leased to the Royal Canadian Post Office and was
not supposed to be accessible to the public. The inspector was also in
charge of designating where 'No Admittance' was applied. Whether this rule
was strictly followed or not, I don't know. We even had an 'R' and an 'L'
on the sides near the ends of the cars to show which way they were supposed
to be facing.
cheers,
Andy
