Photographed during our latest trip out West on VIA's Canadian: Canadian Pacific 4-4-0 type steam locomotive #374 sits on display at the Drake Street Roundhouse in Vancouver. This was the first engine to bring a passenger train into Vancouver in 1886. This photo is from the latest trip my wife & I took in Prestige Class on the 'Canadian' from Toronto to Jasper, AB to visit Jasper & Banff National Parks, the Banff Springs Hotel and various preserved railway equipment in Alberta & British Columbia before continuing on the train in Sleeper Plus Class to Vancouver.

Also, the trip overviews on my site now include links to not only rail services like VIA but connecting transportation, rental cars, hotels & attractions to help those thinking of planning a similar trip. Cheers, Pete
