This eight-passenger vis-à-vis bobsleigh is one of more than thirty sleighs from the collection of the Remington Carriage Museum in Cardston, Alta. The driver and groom sit behind a curved dash, while up to six passengers sit facing each other in the passenger compartment. This seating arrangement gives the sleigh its name, “vis-à-vis” from the French for “face-to-face.”
