A side note from Rapido:

"There is a sad story as to why no more postwar 10-5 sleepers exist. VIA owned the largest fleet and VIA services were decimated in 1990. In a shameful display of political interference in a railway's operations, the highers-up demanded that VIA sell off its conventional passenger car fleet as quickly as possible to generate revenue. Of course, with so many passenger cars on the market, VIA only got scrap value for them.

VIA's 10-5 sleepers had just had a full mechanical, exterior and interior overhaul a few years earlier and were the jewel of the steam-heated sleeper fleet. They were all scrapped.

And what happened? 10 years later, under a new government, VIA needed to buy new sleepers."
