Passenger run?

Some very cool history in those old locos.

Howdy James,

The two runs on sunday will be for employees of C.P. rail
employee appreciation day that will give them two runs
from Coquitlam yard to Mission and back.

If you haven't seen this Locomotive and her train the train is
made up of the old style C.P. Maroon paint scheme and looks great !!

Thanks. The CPR website has plenty of photos, and rates for the trip east.

I spent a lot of my youth riding those old machines, wish I could make a trip.
