Travel VIA Rail Where it Snows on the Inside!

The last Edmonton/Vancouver leg was waylaid due to - yet another - CN derailment (more on this phenomenon and possible reasons, later). I passed some of the time talking with fellow traveler David Winter, Canadian Labour Congress, Regional Director for the Prairie Region. He took these last two shots.


Signs of winter and a long tour are definitely visible. (That dome car is holding me upright!) I'm ready to kick-back for the holidays at my Mom's in Courtenay where I will rest up for the northern leg to Whitehorse on January 9th. I heard it was minus 41 there today but I've been primed after -45 in Winnipeg!
