A Japanese guy, who spoke almost no English but knew every Beatles song, and his hippie wife led everyone in a few rousing choruses of Hey Jude, etc. Kind of fun, but waking up with a crick in your neck from sleeping in the observation car to a lounge full of cigarette smoke and a dozen people belting out Yellow Submarine is not always the best way to start the day.Bryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-49243237843207693252011-08-18T10:51:24.410-04:002011-08-18T10:51:24.410-04:00Good effort, Elijah.

Thanks for attempting the contest and your good wishes for Bryan.<br /><br />Bryan, I knew someone who worked in the branch of the federal government that produced the historic station reports, so was able to receive a couple of them. This site is much more user-friendly and accessible, and I'm sure others will make use of it. Thanks again for the link.<br /><br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-60484026663538828232011-08-18T06:07:44.080-04:002011-08-18T06:07:44.080-04:00Thanks, and thanks to Eric for holding the contest...Thanks, and thanks to Eric for holding the contest! Finding that Parks Canada website with all of the railway stations was new to me, and I spent a lot of time browsing after the contest was done. Hopefully others will find it interesting too, if they haven't seen it yet.Bryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-40821405539537471492011-08-18T00:03:18.134-04:002011-08-18T00:03:18.134-04:00I'm not too well informed where railway statio...I'm not too well informed where railway stations are concerned, but I was able to figure out Thunder Bay and Montreal, the latter by means of that city bus, and intensive research on the BusAndRailPhotos website. (BARP.ca) <br /><br />Congratulations to the winner! If this prize set is anything like what I won last year, you're in for a treat! I still need to frame that glorious hellcat photo that was in there.Zartok-35https://www.blogger.com/profile/00449976580118722879noreply@blogger.com
