Pascal (unit) dB SPL, or 20 µPa. The airtightness of buildings is measured at 50 Pa. The units of atmospheric pressure commonly used in meteorology were formerly the bar, which was close to the average air pressure on Earth, and the millibar. Since the introduction of SI units, meteorologists generally measure pressures in hectopascals (hPa) unit, equal to 100 pascals or 1 millibar. Exceptions include Canada, which use kilopascals (kPa). In many other fields of science, the SI is preferred, which means Pa with a prefix (in multiples of 1000) is preferred. Many countries also use the millibars. In practically all other

Algoma Central 78 is the former Denver and Rio Grande PB-1 6002. It was converted to a steam generator car in October 1965. It gained Blomberg B trucks in 1980. It was sold to Ansco in late 1987 for service on the Ski Train. It was sold again in 2007 to the Algoma Central.
