Has a youtube channel by that name, nice kid from Vancouver who loves riding on trains, I just find his presentation more tolerable than most youtubers....check him out.
Just watched the videos he did of his train trip to Churchill and the Polar bear expedition, excellent ! This trip has been on my bucket list for some time, I'm now motivated to make it happen !

Thanks again Lovin for providing the tip !!

Further info on CP's Holiday train ........

The train is scheduled to stop and perform in Jackman from 1030-1100, running time from there to Greenville is approx one hour so my guess is Greenville Jct noon -1300 hrs

Canadians refer to Newfoundland folks as 'Newfies'.

They had originally called for rain so the drop in temperature was actually welcome. This crossing is through a major north/south road that leads to the downtown. It's notorious for snarling up traffic because the closest underpasses or bridges are far away. The next major road east is getting a long awaited underpass but this section has the wrong soil conditions and a century's worth of underground infrastructure. They cordoned off the area for pedestrians which left lots of room for spectators. The old train station east of the crossing is quite nice but currently privately owned and not used. I hope they find a use soon so that it doesn't go into disrepair. It's the only old rail station left in the city and only a few blocks from the downtown.

When running is easier than shifting & driving away......

Car seems pretty durable, though.
what's sad in all of this is MSM always seems to forget the poor engineer of the train in these types of situations. Even my own brother(a retired locomotive engineer) has had people commit suicide by jumping in front of his train, it haunts him to this day.

Agree. What's interesting, in the Orlando Metro area they opened the Sunrail May 2014. The system currently operates over 49 miles with 16 stations through Volusia, Seminole, Orange and Osceola counties. Amazing how many car and man vs train events have happened since it opened. . 27

It's similar to someone jumping from a freeway overpass- they didn't ask for it, but they have to find ways to deal with it.
