We went down to the CNR Sloman School on wheels today, which is currently located in Clinton, Ontario Canada.
Back in 1926, a teacher named Fred Sloman and his wife Cela took off on a school bus program to bring education to families that were living up north in the bush.
The railcar was turned into a classroom and a living space in the back for him, his wife and their 5 children
The railcar was one of seven school cars in the north through a 41 year period from 1926-1967.
