WCRA News, Page 3 EDITORIAL TRAVELLING—AND INTO SUMMER WE GO Your editor's month of May was spent travelling, so I hope you enjoy the stories of two of these travels this issue. Bangkok, Thailand and Haida Gwaii, British Columbia are about as far apart as things can get. Not only are these places physically far removed from each other, but also the climate and population density are at two extremes of the spectrum. Both have their intricacies and their uniqueness's, and discovering those things becomes part of the sheer joy of travel. Come along for the trips starting on page 20. Now that we are back, it is time to head into summer, although as I write this part of the newsletter it is a cold, windy and rainy June afternoon—hardly feels like summer weather as yet. Even our Day Out With Thomas weekends have been cool this year. We are now heading into a very busy time of the year. Last weekend we had almost 5,000 people in two days for Thomas, and the coming weekend is presold to be even busier. Then, just look at the busy July calendar on page 2 and you can see that things really ramp up for the summer months. That means there are lots of things for everyone to get involved with, and many things to keep our staff and volunteers very busy indeed. Join in and make the most of it! Don ASSOCIATION NEWS FROM THE MAY GENERAL MEETING • 36 members, 1 guest and 1 staff were present; the meeting was chaired by Bill Johnston : • Bill Johnston read a brief Presidents report on behalf of Don Evans who was away, leading the Haida Gwaii tour. The report highlighted the changes in the organization structure: • Financial—Outside accounting firm hired to do the data input and produce the financial reports into the future • Don Evans and Ken Tanner will meet weekly to make the necessary financial related decisions, working with the accounting firm • President—Don Evans continue in this role as a volunteer • 2011 Financial Statements are now available to members. To request a copy email Don or sign up on the list at the meeting. • Apologies to Donors during May – The Newsletter closed early last month before the donor list was complete. Acknowledgements will be in the July Issue. WCRA News, Page 4 • Bill Johnston read the mechanical report on behalf of Russ Grycan , noting that the work had been done on the operating trainset including Randy Lucas replacing 25 window seals; and HEP rewiring repairs on the coaches in preparation for Thomas. The Henry Pickering started summer service with Rocky Mountaineer earlier this month. For the 3 weeks around Thomas the tracks in the Roundhouse have been cleared of exhibits (except for 2860 and the British Columbia ). • There was no Heritage Park report. Ken Tanner sent his apologies for not attending as he was busy dealing with Day Out With Thomas preparations. • Michael Batten reported on the collection, noting that the CC&RC subcommittee dealing with the Collection Strategic Plan will continue to meet throughout the summer. Their objective is to have an updated plan ready for CC&RC by September and for presentation to the membership at the October General Meeting. • Work continues on the BCER 960. Greg Robertshaw and Richard Courage have started a preliminary evaluation on CP 8000. Bill Marchant is looking at sources of funding for CP 8000 – possibly CPR would agree to repair the damaged pilots if we removed them. Dave Emmington indicated that some BCIT departments might also be willing to participate. • Bill Johnston reported on the 125th anniversary celebration held at the 374 Pavilion on May 20. He noted that the renovations done to the plaza were “user friendly” but without much regard for railway related activities. He also stressed the need for additional volunteers as we were had been advised we were not getting granted summer student this year. • Mike McGaw followed with an update on the progress on the BCER 960 project, stating “it takes time to do it right”. Work is being done on the back deck – cleaning and painting. He related an amusing anecdote about efforts of he and Bill Marchant to remove the air tanks which stopped just short of twisting the locomotive from the tanks. The project could use more manpower, parts and advice. If you have an excess of any of these call Mike. • Jeremy Davy noted that there were currently 3 possible events that WCRA could participate in—CN Family Days (Sep 9); Opening of Pier Park in New Westminster (Jun 16) and Washington Marine Group’s Family Day (Sep 9). • Jeremy Davy reported the MiniRail is ready for Thomas and that volunteers were in place. SRY124 is now dressed in the new SRY corporate image. • Bill Johnston stated that bookings were slow, and the Portland tour only had 4 bookings. Jennifer Mitchell was working on 2 FIT tours valued at $5000. • Fundraising – Bill Johnston advised that long time Member Tom Rust had passed away recently and that he had requested that donations in his memory be made to WCRA. Dorothea Matewish presented $100 from her ongoing Royal Hudson Garage Sale . She also donated a vintage Thermos Jug and related its history going back to the election of Tommy Douglas’ election as Saskatchewan CCF leader in in the mid 1940’s. • Paul Roy was welcomed to the meeting, his first in many months after his hospitalization. • Ryan Cruickshank and Bill Marchant gave Trackside Reports • Entertainment was a presentation by Marc Simpson featuring all the facets of BC Electric’s Transportation System in the late 1940’s and 1950’s from the camera of Newt Rossiter . WCRA News, Page 5 MEMBER NEWS TOM RUST REMEMBERED Member Tom Rust passed away on May 6, 2012. after a long and distinguished life on this earth. He spent many years in senior roles in the forest industry, and retired in 1984 as Chairman & CEO of Crown Zellerbach Canada and Fletcher Challenge. He also served on several corporate boards including Canadian Pacific Ltd. Tom was also very active in his community, serving on many charity boards including the Vancouver Foundation and several hospitals, and was commissioner of the BC Pavilion during Expo 86. He was inducted into the Order of Canada in 1988 and awarded a Queen’s Jubilee Medal earlier this year. Outside of his busy work life, his passions were reading, travel, railroading—model and full scale—and golf. Tom recently donated a steam locomotive bell (WCRA News June 2011 and Nov. 2011) and made a visit to the West Coast Railway Heritage Park. West Coast Railway Association was honoured to be chosen as the charity of choice in lieu of flowers. Our sympathies are offered to Hope and all of the family.

  • **CTC-5520 Rail
    CROSS- COUNTRY Traversing the Canadian Rockies by rail BY LOUISA KASDON SIDELL IDYLLThe idea of taking a journey by rail sprang from an urge for life at the slower, simpler pace of the 19th century, when travel was as much about the journey as the destination. The serenity to take in the entire landscape of Western Canada—the rolling prairies, the dense forests, the soaring peaks of the Rockies—as well as the chance to read a book, sip a glass of wine, and fantasize that I was among the elite and unhurried, the kind of traveller with time and money to spare. And anyway, I’d never seen the Canadian Rockies. • Typically, I am a hurry-up-and-get-there type of trav- eller. Get in the car, catch a plane, and be where you want to be in a time frame that is measured in hours, not days. But there was something seductive for me—a hint of Old World grandeur—about the idea of an overnight train journey. My own cozy little berth. An elegant dinner in the club car. A tall guy in a uniform, tipping his hat and bellowing “all aboard!” Maybe Alfred Hitchcock would be on the platform too, with his cello case, just like he was in Strangers on a Train. • The railroad has always been important in this country. Arguably, the completion of the transcontinental railway system was the impetus for the founding of the Dominion of Canada. When the British Empire seized control of Hong Kong in 1843, visionaries realized that a railway, energized by the new steam-powered locomotives, could be the way to transport the riches of the Orient—tea, porcelain and silk—to the lucrative markets in the West.

  • Mobility and Landscape in the Yellowhead Pass
    “Lucerne No Longer Has an Excuse to Exist”: Mobility and Landscape in the Yellowhead Pass Ben Bradley ucerne was poised for posterity when it was established by the Canadian Northern Railway near the summit of the Yellowhead Pass in 1913. As a divisional point station on a new transcontinental Lrailway, it was a crucial component of a massive new transportation system that was expected to transform the northern Prairies and British Columbia into what one promoter called the “New Garden of Canada.”1 However, Lucerne was abandoned in 1923, and for the next half-century its remnants posed a problem for the government agencies that were responsible for managing British Columbia’s parks. They worried that westbound travellers developed negative first impressions of Mount Robson Provincial Park – and of British Columbia generally – due to their encounter with a cluster of derelict cabins and crumbling false- front stores. These agencies waged an intermittent campaign to “clean up” Lucerne, with their enthusiasm for the project waxing and waning according to the site’s changing relations to the corridors of mobility that traversed it. They only strove to remove traces of the town that were visible to large numbers of passersby or that appeared likely to become so in the near future. The actual presence of trespassing in abandoned buildings inside Mount Robson Park was less of a problem than the possibility that these structures would disrupt travellers’ views of park nature. In this article, I examine how mobility, the tourist gaze, and park aesthetics intersected at a famous but little-studied section of the Canadian Rockies.

  • Former Canadian National Railways Station Jasper National Park
    94-10 Jasper, Alberta Former Canadian National Railways Station Jasper National Park HERITAGE CHARACTER STATEMENT The former Canadian National Railways (CNR) station at Jasper was built in 1925 by the line's Western Division crews, to designs prepared by the CNR Architectural Division in Winnipeg. It has been renovated to serve as a restaurant. See FHBRO Building Report 94-10. Reasons for Designation The former CNR station at Jasper was designated Classified for its architectural, environmental and historical significance. The station was built to an unusual design that adapted the Arts and Crafts style and the related rustic theme in Parks architecture to the specific functional requirements of a first-class facility for rail travel. In keeping with those stylistic influences, its irregular massing, rustic materials and robust detailing relate to its park setting. Much of the interior finish and detail is concealed by later materials, but remains in place. The station is an important local landmark and a focal point in the plan of the Jasper townsite. It was one of the largest and finest stations to be built by the new Canadian National Railways immediately after its formation. Appropriately, its expansive site encompassed the previous locations of both the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and the Canadian Northern Railway depots, which had been built to serve luxury resort facilities in one of Canada's earliest national parks. Character Defining Elements The heritage character of the Jasper station resides in its exterior form, materials and detailing, in features of its Arts and Crafts and rustic design, in the quality of its original interior finishes, and in its site and setting.

The year was 1925, and if you were in the business of manufacturing self-propelled railcars, the future looked promising. General Electric sold more than 100 self-propelled passenger cars, but with sales of about 500 oars, the Electro-Motive Co. was the uncontested leader in the field.
