For those of you that were unaware... our Administrative Assistant , Erica, took off for a few weeks to the Canadian Rockies to take pictures. While having lunch at an old refurbished train station in Lake Louise a cargo trained pulled in to allow another such train to pass. If Erica had walked over sooner she could have even walked inside the engine, but by the time she realized tourists were being allowed a quick tour all she had time for was a picture; enough to make Rick jealous right?
Did you know many of the locations Erica visited, you too
can visit if you win this years 2015 Train Raffle Prize!
Tickets for the raffle are $100 and
only 1,000 are being sold.
