I was disappointed to miss the 150 train, but I consoled myself with shooting endless freight trains through London. I recognize a number of these cars from the CP Holiday Train. What a great looking train!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917230984518214781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-7779382236331495442017-08-19T21:27:16.189-04:002017-08-19T21:27:16.189-04:00All good points, Jamie.

I still remember when Fred Green was put in charge of the then-CAR and I thought - this is the beginning of the end!<br /><br />I don't know how you guys do it with the same number of trains all day as I can see on CN's Kingston Sub in one hour. An embarrassment of riches here!<br /><br />It's still a great country, no matter what.<br /><br />Research & Recollections should be on the shelf at Maritime Hobbies in Halifax. If not, you can pick up a copy from me - just email. I have mastered e-transfer as well!<br /><br />Thanks very much for your comment,<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-28099280165036048212017-08-19T20:22:13.814-04:002017-08-19T20:22:13.814-04:00It is good to know that CP thinks Canada ends at Q...It is good to know that CP thinks Canada ends at Quebec.....which is ironic when you think about it.....since this country was found in PEI. Those of us in Atlantic Canada never saw the train other than in pictures so to me and many others it is not a "Canada 150 Train"; but instead a "3/4 Canada 150 Train. :( <br /><br />Anyways...that is my rant. <br /><br />Looking forward to buying your new book Eric :)<br /><br />Jamie<br />Truro, NSAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985756784204539858noreply@blogger.com
