Large Scale Central

For H-J.....

Mornin’ - I was just reliving the couple of days we spent recuperating in Golden BC - me mainly watching trains from the roadside, or from the bridges, when it occurred to me to ask if you had any videos from that location?

My abiding memory was standing around the access to the tracks off 10th Ave, watching a female engineer getting her butt chewed off by a higher-up for letting the freight train she was driving run out of fuel [again]. Seems she was still a trainee under instruction, and had somehow over-used the fuel load in the three-loco lash-up - again. The train was held up for about four hours, I recall at the time. We went off to look at the new houses at Kicking Horse resort, and when we came back it was still there…

We didn’t buy a ‘cottage’ at the resort either, since we then lacked the $3/4M necessary.

Still do, in fact.
