Before that I hadn't even known about it. They said it was so much fun. When did it pass through- what time of day? I'd love to see it next year. I bet your "Grands" loved it. Ours love the trains that pass behind our house and hear the train whistle long before we do.Bev Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270938389792314932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-32801320775360112212008-12-22T20:06:00.000-08:002008-12-22T20:06:00.000-08:00Hi JudyIt was nice to have you stop by!What a love...Hi Judy<BR/>It was nice to have you stop by!<BR/>What a lovely evening you had with the train.

My grandfather was an engineer for the CPR (he died before I was born) so several years ago while doing some research on the CPR, I learned about the Christmas train gathering food for food banks. I got very excited. The CPR official site has many wonderful images...one of my favorites is of the train crossing Hell's Gate Bridge in NYC. Wow! I just Googled it and found it right here... <BR/><BR/>http://www.nationalcorridors.org/df/df12102001n.jpg <BR/><BR/>I got so passionate about it that I made my dear friend, Lum, in Manitoba go see it last year and she sent me a CD of the music just to shut me up. LOL! I only wish that it came close enough to my home to go see it. I would be so thrilled.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to you and your family for braving the cold to see it.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-58209652577643054032008-12-22T06:42:00.000-08:002008-12-22T06:42:00.000-08:00Well that certainly sounds like a lot of fun!

They love that trip and make it every year - usually flying back after Easter. This year they arrived in the storm, but we were able to get to town to pick them up - it's a big trip with three days on the train, then the bus, then the ferry, then the bus............Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.com
