- 1959 November, J. N. Westwood, “The Railways of Canada”, in Trains Illustrated, page 553:
  The "Scotian" is hardly a passenger train at all: typically, it consists of two 1,750 h.p. diesel units, four fish cars, five parcel cars, two mail cars, a baggage car, two passenger coaches and a sleeper which only goes part of the way.
- 2019 October, Tony Miles, “Midlands Connect's £3.5bn plan”, in Modern Railways, page 16:
  The programme would increase capacity and create space for 736 more passenger trains on the network each day.
