Photograph published in The Sunday Oregonian, May 20, 1917 with caption: "To provide the greatest comfort for returned invalid soldiers of Canada, the Canadian Pacific has built hospital cars which have just gone into service. They are run in three units of two cars each. The cars consist of one large room the length of a standard sleeper, with lavatories at the ends. There are two side entrances for patients, which have curtains to be drawn in bad weather. The accomodations for the nurses are like those of a stateroom in a regular sleeper."
