  Date: 05/06/13 03:21 Re: A Few From Truro This Afternoon Author: ghCBNS ....And within the next couple of weeks we should see CBNS 3022 return from St. Albans VT in full Genesee & Wyoming corporate colors sporting the CB&CNS Scottish Lion logo. (It's been reported the loco is already painted......anyone with a link?)

The bus is much more practical on this route and a lot faster than the RDC would be.....the Trans Canada is 4-lane to east of New Glasgow and Phase I of the Antigonish by-pass is open. But there’s always memories.....    Date: 05/07/13 02:19 Re: A Few From Truro This Afternoon Author: ghCBNS CBNS-3852 Wrote:
