N.S340 Canadian Mountains - Golden towards Cathedral (1 of 4)

Perhaps it is part of the story Rammy ha ha. Please continue.

A bit Unusual only having one Unit on a route like this and in Winter an Enjoyable Drive Though. Thank You.

Hey there, N.S! I'm sorry I missed your second message & I'm green with envy that you had a ride on CPR's passenger service before VIA rail! I wanted to take the Canadian SO badly, but alas... it never came to be. You're also one up on me at seeing the Turbo!! While it ran I was, unfortunately away from the traveled rails of it's US runs. But, I did read whatever articles I could find and dream. It was one of the first successful tilting high speeders in North America. As I recall the first designs in the US were in the thirties, but WWII put an end to it. Thanks for the memories, my friend!

Hello again artiem.
Just for the record:- I travelled over the CPR from Vancouver to Banff in 1978, weeks before it changed to Via Rail, and then passenger traffic changed it's pathing to Jasper.
I got to sit in the rear observation car, and write a letter on official 'Canadian Pacific Railroad' letterhead paper and envelope, to send. A special moment for me.
I also saw an original 'Turbo' at speed a few miles out of Toronto - sadly no more. A great sound and a true high speed tilting train at 125mph back then. Awesome in 1978! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAC_TurboTrain

Hello arktiem old mate.
You will enjoy the rest of this series, as it is a great mix. I really enjoyed this myself. Another one where I didn't know what to do - or where to start, which once I did, it just worked beautifully. I look forward to what you think. Cheers.

I noticed this mini-series and decided it was time to work north of the border again... and I'm sure glad I did! Just what I love in a work order - a nice little challenge taking place in the worst weather there can be. I loved it! Another winner N.S which was great in every way. With the cold temps around my neck of the woods today this scenario fit in real well! Thanks for a lot of fun, my friend and... onto the next one!

Hello david.angus1977. Nice to hear from you. I hope you thoroughly enjoy all 4 parts. It is fun, and a good mix of events I believe. Cheers.
My latest series/collection of 10, is on the Tirol Brenner-Kufstein route, which is a fantastic route I have discovered.

Hi NS! I have certainly enjoyed that trip, thank you! Yes, a great run on a fabulous route! I've caught up with you again. I have this mini series downloaded, so I shall be continuing with the following three parts. Cheers! Regards, David.

My one and only Canadian series. I am absolutely certain you will enjoy it a lot robmerlo. It is very popular. I have since bought another loco, to do another mini series.
I was fortunate in 1978, that I travelled on the Canadian Pacific Railroad form Vancouver, just before it changed names and main route via the Rockies. I was able to go on the original route via Banff (it now goes via Jasper). I also saw the first Turbo train at speed.
Toronto was fantastic, because it had trolley buses, trams and trains! At the time one of my favourite cities ha ha.

have finished this one enjoyed the trip and a start to another of your mini series
