Some fun stuff in there, especially the 1981 Statscan collection about freight moved in Canada: 2857 carloads of cattle were moved that year, but only 5 of watermelons. I could read that stuff all night...<br /><br />-BryanBryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-84005878543635798712014-04-28T22:01:29.795-04:002014-04-28T22:01:29.795-04:00Inspirational and transportational is a good combi...Inspirational and transportational is a good combination, Elijah!<br /><br />Write it!

Anyway, I think I have to write a song, similar to your Dome car tune from the Seneramic sCeries, a parody of Bob Dylan's "Talking Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues", but with riding on the Dayliner! I think it could be pretty funny.Zartok-35https://www.blogger.com/profile/00449976580118722879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-56583993982468118352014-04-27T20:44:32.960-04:002014-04-27T20:44:32.960-04:00Thanks for your kind comments, Brian.

This material was covered by Richard Yarremko, Fred Clark, and others in Edmonton and Calgary as an everyday event, Doug Phillips has the rarest of observations photographed that I know. The mundane and rare all need to recorded and documented and the railfan community has. Many thanks to you for the coverage of the material. Silver coffins in the west on the E and N and the Med Hat to Lethbridge line in the western region pre 1978 and the Winnipeg-Lac du Bonnet --Riverton-Wpg loop in the late 1950s with the Sudbury-Ft William RDC run were short lived.
