Hi Guyzzzzzz.
It was a great eight day vistit with my old friend and his great family.
I think I converted Charlie to a train spotter by the time I left Wink

Anyway hope this is not boring.
Here goes.

First shot was on the run.
Then we find the interurban track in Vancouver.
They only operate 3 hrs Sat and Sun. so a ride was not possible.
Then a poster with details.

One more Model the Hudson Wink

Then we are of to the round house.
here we find Loco 374..
May 23rd 1887 was a great day for Vancouver, when CPR Engine 374 pulled the first transcontinental train into the city.
She retired in 1945.
Also a picture of the restored round house.

Then on to the west coast Railway Heritage Park , Squamish BC.
Here is a picture as we drive through the fantstic scenery.
