A wonderful stop to learn about the CPR and how it relates to Confederation.  Many items to look at in the museum.

Some people have gone to a lot of trouble to research and present the history put up on the boards near this cache.

"On November 7, 1885, the last spike in the Canadian Pacific Railway was driven at Craigellachie, British Columbia."


The Last Spike

Train In Vain

Some people like trains so much, they spend a lot of time travelling on them, reading about, watching shows about them - so I thought I'd create this list for Train Buffs and for my own Traincacher.  Traincacher worked for CN for 35 years, retiring Feb. 28, 2008.  I probably know more than I want about trains...but I do love to travel on trains.  I've been on the CNR, CPR, West Coast Express, Royal Hudson, Amtrak, Via, English train system, Italian train system and various city subways.  The best was the CNR, surprisingly!  Our first trip together on a train was when we were 22 in 1974, a year after we met.  We took the train from Vancouver to Toronto, sleeping in a chair and on the floor the first night.  The other nights we were bunked.  It was a great adventure for us.
