That didn't come out right.

Should be something like do you know someone at CP?

My son works there.
What an utterly unnecessary piece of editing. You should be a mod.

I should fess up I suppose, these came to me via a circular email I received. I thought I would "spread" them a little further.

Am I forgiven

I guess not

What size metal detector do they use to locate the tracks? Or can I assume that, somewhere (the shed for the locos) there is a part of the track that wasn't under all that snow

Great pix. My OH is a train buff and we know the Rogers Pass well, so I'm passing these on.

Nah, not weird. When we first got here I used to embarrass the kids by singing "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..." at the first snowflake. But after months of scraping slushy dirty stuff off boots it does wear a bit. Still love that first day of winter wonderland though.
