The Easter train about to depart Wickersham in 1989. Why is this picture posted? Yesterday, BN 2096, still in this paint scheme, was part of the power lashup of the Sumas train as it went through Wickersham. That's the closest to BN 2095 that there is these days, as 2095 went swimming at Pt. Defiance many years ago and never recovered.

Happy Train Day to all!

The day the opening scene of The Grey Fox was filmed. By the time the day was over, the floor of the first coach was deep in apple peelings. If you've seen the movie, you'll remember why. Winner of multiple awards for top ten Canadian movies of all time. Richard Farnsworth received a Best Actor Award nomination for Golden Globes that year for his portrayal of the legendary Bill Miner.
