| I rode in one of these many times from Alberta to Ontario and back as a kid |
A few weeks ago Wendy and I went downtown – she to a quilt show…well that’s not all that had but that’s her main interest and I to grab some photos of the restored roundhouse and turntable.
This is probably of great interest to me because I rode some of these cars perhaps pulled by one of these engines? Crossing the country in a train was the economical way to travel – air travel was yet to come to my world.
Dad, Mom and I would travel from the west into Toronto sleeping on the train being rocked to sleep by the swaying of the cars. I have many fond memories!
It was great to walk about and see these great metal monsters – what a wonderful part of our heritage.
