This view is in the Palace Sleeping Car "Omemee:, and part of the set of the 1907 "Soo-Spokane Train Deluxe". This international train was operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway between Minneapolis, MINN and Spokane, WA., but through Canada, the Crowsnest Pass route and Cranbrook. It is designated Canadian Cultural Property due to its importance to Canadian heritage.
The stained glass half-dome, one of two in the main room of the car, contains 1250 pieces of glass. The interior paneling is walmut and mahogany with Art Nouveau style inlays, mohair plush upholstery and other refinements.
