G'day all,
Sorry for the delay, no coverage in the vast wilderness of central Canada!!, only briefly as we went through towns. Had a fantastic time on the Canadian , met some great people and saw countless freight trains as we waited in sidings! I saw many different loco types including BC rail, Standard cab Dash8's and many different EMD variants.The Dome cars were even better than I expected and I spent the whole trip ( apart from sleeping and eating )in the rear Park car and it's dome! Didn't wan't to get off in Jasper, even though we were 6hrs late!!
Jasper has trains leaving and arriving almost non-stop and the new camera is getting a workout already! Will be up early in the morning to catch the sun on the beautiful snow topped mountains and get some trains in the morning light!
Horroo for now!
Cheers Gregg.
