Canadian Railroads > SuperC/Canadian at White River,Ontario -- Dec 80Date: 05/19/18 07:59 SuperC/Canadian at White River,Ontario -- Dec 80 Author: gcm I was riding the Super Continental from Vancouver-Toronto.
Here it is (combined with the Canadian at Winnipeg) at the CP station in White River,Ontario. (1-2) Algonquin Park was on the rear - I watched it leave Vancouver on the Canadian. A 3 bedroom 1 drawing room observation with a bar lounge was built by Budd in 1954 for CP.   Date: 05/19/18 07:59 Re: SuperC/Canadian at White River,Ontario -- Dec 80 Author: gcm (3-4) The CP White River station with Skyline 507 - a coach-buffet dome built in 1954 by Budd.

(7) The diner on this portion of the trip was ex-CN, rebuilt from a parlor-dinnette in 1965 - originally built by P-S in 1954.   Date: 05/19/18 08:01 Re: SuperC/Canadian at White River,Ontario -- Dec 80 Author: gcm (8-9) An F unit along with a couple CP RS-10 units were the power.

Date: 05/19/18 08:18 Re: SuperC/Canadian at White River,Ontario -- Dec 80 Author: irhoghead Look at that weather, and the train shows as on time. Compare that to today's Amtrak. If the snowflakes that run that company think there might be snowflakes somewhere along 2,000 miles of line, they cancel the train.

Now on CN it would say "always late" for the Canadian. Oh, for those days again!
Being from the UP of Michigan, boarded the westbound Canadian on CP at White River a time or two. Date: 05/20/18 04:27 Re: SuperC/Canadian at White River,Ontario -- Dec 80 Author: robj That is really great set. Exactly what you would "expect". I have been thinking of a railfan trip in winter to that area
but never have the nerve. Thanks!!! Bob Jordan |
