Thanks for yoiur awesome posting. ALLEN Date: 06/25/20 23:34 Re: The "Super Continental" a mile west of Jasper 1973 Author: exrtc The train has just left a siding called "Wynd". That was an old Jasper joke. "Such and such" a train is just passing Wynd.

I believe that had more to do with CN trying to standardize parts and equipment in the late 1940s. They wanted the same trucks under all their heavy and lightweight passenger cars Posted from iPhone Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/28/20 21:05 by zartok-35. |
