I got my latest issue of CP Tracks and have read it cover to cover this is a
classic issue !!!! I have a fond memory of Terrace Bay station . my family
was camping nearby and it started raining a Sat night in august it rained so
hard that our tent had a floor but the wate go so deep we we floating around
the tent on our air matress,s So we abandoned the campsite for a motel in
Terrace Bay it kept poaring I walked over to the station .Being a Sunday it
was closed and a freight came thru . I went thru Terrace Bay on the
Canadian Several trips. but not by car till2007 of course it was long gone .
It was great to read about it . The Lake Erie and Northern has allways
facinated me Rogers artilce is excellent . I also found the Arrostock
article a lot of very interesting information . And the Article about the
Soo Line in Northern Michigan a really good read The paint scheme
illustrated is so different interesting,. A really great issue . One thing
no body has ever written about Canadian Pacifics Great Lakes Service I was
very fortunate my familly sailed on both the Assinaboia and Keewatin in
1963. That was CPR service with CLASS!!!! I talked with John Newland of the
BGR group( he makes those super detailed CPR models of the passenger fleet.
he worked in dinning car service in 1965 had a very intersesting story to
tell about the first class dining car service up till 1965.on the Canadian
, Looking forwad to the next issue . agreat job regards DAVID HILL
