[interurban]

Hi Folks,

I work very close to the Canadian Pacific Mc Cowan Yards Ontario.
And have always wanted to tour the facilities

WELL An opportunity has arrived, No date or time set as yet most proberly it will be on a Sunday,

The traction guys will make every effort to make it.
The "must have" is steel toe cap footwear.

If There is any intrest amongst those who are in the area, let me know.

We could meet for breakfast at the Station Restaurant. and get to know each other

Dont forget to Bring your Camera

I'd be up for that - I live quite close to the yards. Let me know time and place, and I'll see if I can make it!

Also a terrific way to find out......for those who don't already know, .....why Scarborough is affectionately also known as "Scarberia".
Interurben; Will this likely be a winter season visit ?
Regards / Mike

Getting close

Hi Folks I am emailing the gentleman who will be giving the C P R Tour, I asked for a 11am start. Safty boots area must.
When I get the Date I will post it. Most likely a Sunday.
Please let me know if you are still intrested as we need a head count.

 

[interurban]

It has to be Monday to Friday, as I finish work at 2 30 pm I have asked for a 3pm visit.
Dont now how long the tour will take as yet.

Will keep you posted

Is there still anyone intrested?

 

[cpr_paul]

I'm still interested, but a 3pm weekday start might not work for me, unless I can get the afternoon off.

I'm actually off to the UK for the first two weeks of May, so hopefully that doesn't conflict with the tour. If so, oh well - just take lots of pictures for me!

 

[Matthyro]

Chris, weekdays aren't good for me as we do volunteer work Monday Tuesday Wednesday and often on Thursday and Friday too. Hope you have fun and take lots of photos.
