<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mi chael, post: 804144, member: 9552&quot;]I think there&#039;s one of those running in BC...a coastal excursion?&nbsp; And we&#039;ve one in the Aviation Museum here in Ottawa. (Yeah, I know. But thats how it started out - it GREW!&nbsp; Oh, there may be one in Jasper, BC.&nbsp; They were used a lot for mountain travel.</p><p><br /></p><p>My grandfather worked for the B&amp;O in W Virginia.&nbsp; I&#039;ll never forget watching the half dozen engines belching in the Grafton roundhouse...well, some of them were belching. I was just a wee kid and you know how things look so much bigger them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; And where I grew up, Bluffton, Indiana had the Nickel Plate with a big yard and the ran steam for a few of my younger years.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>They were dirty and smelled bad but I MISS them. We have a 262 running day trips here from Ottawa to Wakefield QC. Summer only, except for a Thanksgiving dinner train. I&#039;m lucky enough to have reason to drive to Wakefield a couple times a month when it&#039;s sitting and waiting (and steaming) for the return trip. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ahh....memories....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
