Royal Hudson #2860 steams along the “Olympic road” at Porteau on her ferry move from Squamish to Vancouver on Saturday, January 16, 2010.

WCRA News, Page 3 EDITORIAL THE OLYMPICS ARE UPON US It’s that time that we have been waiting and watching for, the city and area are now into the 2010 Winter Olympics. As I write this, the Olympic torch relay has arrived in the Lower Mainland and there is lots of activity everywhere. The City is full of visitors and the banners and pavilions have sprouted up everywhere. It’s a very special time for our area, and all of us will be touched or impacted in some way. On the railroad scene, special security requirements have hit and screening of passengers and special security operating rules make business during this period anything but normal. The railways have visitors in town as well—on the Vancouver waterfront, the CPR yard has been turned into a business car location, as most of CPR’s business car fleet and a small pavilion are in place. Also there is Kansas City Southern's business car train. On the North Vancouver to Squamish tracks, watch for CN’s business car train to appear, and also the daily operation of the chartered Alberta train (provided for and operated by Rocky Mountaineer) in its special colours—it departs around 0630 each morning. And, the paving of the short stretch of track at Porteau to make the third “Olympic Lane” on Highway 99 is in place (see cover). Motorists Vancouver bound in the mornings will face delays while they wait the passage of the Alberta train and any other Whittler bound train traffic. For WCRA, the Royal Hudson trip to White Rock and return on February 8 and 9 has been an interesting venture, as our train and operating crew / volunteers are all subject to the special Olympics security rules and operating regulations, necessitating several extra steps and training. Up at the Heritage Park, the Canada Club is set to open (although as we go to press, Victoria is being difficult re the needed license). And, in Vancouver, the Locomotive 374 Pavilion is the “Fuse Pavilion” for the duration of the Olympics, open every day and evening. Whatever your view of the Olympics, they are here. Let’s do our part to welcome the world to British Columbia, and I hope you all find some special tings to enjoy. It will be a time to remember for all of us. Don ASSOCIATION NEWS FROM THE JANUARY GENERAL MEETING 45 members and guests were present, the meeting was chaired by Colin Dathan: • Don Evans provided the President’s Report, talking about the start of the fundraising year and also the significant effort over the past month by many in getting all the aspects of the WCRA News, Page 4 Royal Hudson excursion to White Rock in place and ready. • Susan Steen presented the Heritage Park report acknowledging the success of the Polar Express in December and thanking the volunteers who helped make it happen. She also talked about the Christmas Lights in the Park display. • Susan also talked about training, which is a major effort being undertaken this year. In January, a CROR Rules course was held and six staff / volunteers attended and successfully completed the course, upping our standards for railway operations around the Heritage Park. Coming in 2010 also will be First Aid training and then training on our Passenger Handling Safety Plan as we work to expand our number of available qualified personnel for these important aspects of safety and operation. • Day Out With Thomas will return to the Heritage Park on June 5 /6 and 12/13 with a very special celebration this year—Thomas the Tank Engine turns 65 on June 5th! • Don Evans provided a construction report noting great progress on the new CN Roundhouse & Conference Centre—it is starting to look like a completed building (see page 12 and back cover) • Colin Dathan noted that the Locomotive 374 Pavilion in Yaletown is now the “Fuse Pavilion” for the duration of the Olympics and is open every evening. • Dave Emmington noted the coming Mount Pleasant train show in February • Ron Anstey spoke about the re-activation of the Collection Committee, and members Dave Emmington, Michael Batten, and Donna Fourchalk talked abut the importance of our collection and the need to get more active in its preservation. (see page 9) • Bill Johnston provided a report on the upcoming Royal Hudson trip to White Rock and other planned tours for 2010. • Colin Dathan reminded members to submit their volunteer hours from 2009 • Ryan Cruickshank and Bill Marchant provided their Trackside Reports • Guests were welcomed and the 50/50 draw held • Entertainment was by Bill Johnston with some interesting coverage of the building of the Great Slave Lake Railway in the 1960’s WCRA TRIVIA # 254 - by Ryan D.

  • Canadian Rail No258 1973
    C::a..n..a..dia.:I'1 ) ffi&1fLn ~<>. 258 J'£TL"Y I.973 IDIDIDI BIID DmlDI II DBIDIDDDB Harvey E. Elson. ~ ore than a quarter-century ago, after the relaxation of the travel restrictions which had I~ ~ been imposed in Canada during World War II, passanger traf- fic on Canada's two major railways increased by leaps and bounds. In order to secure as much as possible of this lucrative business - and to retain it in the face of the ever­ increasing popularity of air travel, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company decided ta create a travel mode which would prave irresistable to the North American transcontinental t~aveller. The decision was taken in 1952 to purchase a sufficient number of stainless steel passenger train sets - including some cars with the new and popular "scenic-dome" facility - to provide a second daily train from Montreal and Toronto to Vancouver, British Columbia, supplementing the already popular "Dominion". At first, the name "Royal Canadian" was proposed for the new train, but when rati fica­ tion of the use of the term "Royal" could not be obtained from the Bl'i tish government, the name was shortened to the "Canadian" and, under this title, the new passenger train service was to continue for more than eighteen years. The cars for the "Canadian" were ordered from the Budd Company of Philadelphia, U.S.A., at a cost of $ 40 million. The first car to be delivered to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company was the "Chateau Bienville", a sleeping car, which came to Montreal on 4 July 1954 via the Delaware and Hudson Railway.
