- "Surprise Bouquet - Mrs. A.E. Feindel, of 416 Beatrice Avenue, London, was pleasantly surprised yesterday afternoon when she was presented with a bouquet of roses as she prepared to board a Canadian National Railways train at London. The train was the new rail liner, termed a 'railway automobile', and it was making its initial trip from London to Toronto. Mrs. Feindel was its first woman passenger. Presenting the flowers is Douglas V. Gonder, of Toronto, vice-president of the CNR." (C8 Sh3 B1 F2 6a)

From left to right: J.R. Church, CNR trainmaster and road foreman; Miss Irene Burns; and Miss Bonnie Bacigalupa, all of London." (C8 Sh3 B1 F2 6b)
