ON THE COVER Remember Steam Expo and the grand show of steam that was put on as part of the Expo 86 major event in Vancouver? One of the most exciting aspects of that event was the several locomotives that came to Vancouver under their own steam, such as CN #6060. In this great shot by WCRA member Andrew Moody, we see CN Mountain class 4-8-2 6060 hauling the Jasper to Vancouver grain train in full flight near Mt. Cheam, Chilliwack, BC, May 30, 1986.

WCRA News, Page 3 EDITORIAL OFF TO ARM 2008 Another fall, and time for the annual Association of Railway Museums Conference, this year in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I always look forward to participating in these, as they have proven very valuable to my own learning as well as to providing many ideas that we have incorporated at the West Coast Railway Heritage Park. This one is particularly exciting for a couple of reasons: • WCRA has its best attendance ever, as we will have a great group of people at the conference. In addition to myself and Deb, Susan Steen will be there as our official delegate, and we will also have our chair Colin Smith and Bobbi, Director Jeremy Davy and Donna, and also attending will be Randy Lucas from our shop staff and wife Lynne. • Next up is us! WCRA is the host for ARM 2009, which will be held in Squamish from September 16 through September 20, 2009. Our theme will be Changing Scenes, and the base will be the Heritage Park where we will hold the events, functions and seminars. We will be promoting our event while we are in Colorado and trying to get a delegate count of around 125 to 150 to come. Meanwhile, much of this issue will be written from Colorado. I am looking forward to a conference report in a future issue Don ASSOCIATION NEWS FROM THE AUGUST GENERAL MEETING The General Meeting of the West Coast Railway Association was held at 1930 hours on August 26, 2008 with Colin Dathan chairing the meeting and 45 in attendance: • Don Evans provided the President's report, updating the challenges of fundraising while we are in a major capital construction phase. He asked all members to really get out there and promote the SteamFest event for September. • Susan Steen gave a report on the Heritage Park, noting a very successful Garage Sale event on August 23 and also a great day on August 17 with Mini Rail Day and the Member’s Picnic. She thanked the volunteers who helped out, and updated the membership on staffing changes at the Park. • Jim Brown updated us on finances, we are running behind on our payables but holding our own at this time. • Jim also gave us a report on the 374 Pavilion over the summer, visitor numbers are good and our first year with a small gift shop operation proved successful. The WCRA’s September 17 Board of Directors meeting will be held at the Pavilion. WCRA News, Page 4 • Colin Smith updated us re the Roundhouse, noting that the steel fabrication was well along and that erection of the steel should now get underway in September. Perhaps we will see it when SteamFest is held. • Jeremy Davy reported in a soggy off-site mini rail held at the Rocky Mountaineer station on August 24th for a private company picnic event, he thanked Jim Saunders, George Massey and John Lighthall for their help. Next up is another event on September 7, then the Washington Marine Group picnic while we are all away in Colorado. • Jeremy also updated on membership, which is starting to show some nice growth in terms of overall growth, plus growth in both Corporate and Sustaining membership categories. • Bernie Tully noted the upcoming event in Chilliwack on October 25 and 26, and then the TRAIN 2008 show which will be November 8 and 9 in Burnaby. • Don Evans gave an update on the situation with the MP Shops, noting that MP 1 looks like it will have to come down for environmental remediation, and that WCRA will thus move most of its items and its tenants into MP 2. Details are still being worked, but it appears that a workable plan has emerged for all parties. • Don also provided a collection update, noting that the turntable parts are all accounted for and are at the shop in Sedro-Woolley. He updated the membership on the wheel and truck issue with the Henry Pickering open car, and with the progress coming well on the business car Alberta. • Bill Johnston provided a tours report, thanking Keith and Vera Anderson for a good job on the Vancouver Island West Coast tour. He noted that our scheduled tours for 2008 are just about all completed, and that we are still looking for a part time Tours Administrator. • Colin Dathan noted that this was a special evening, as we had two birthdays to celebrate—John Lighthall and George Blakely. Both were wished the best and a cake was enjoyed at the break. • Ryan Cruickshank and Bill Marchant provided Trackside Reports • Eric Anderson donated Canadian Tire money • Entertainment was of the White Pass & Yukon tour by Don Evans WCRA TRIVIA # 237 - by Ryan D. Cruickshank What jointly owned major North American railroad was larger than both its parent companies?

  • Canadian Rail No162 1965
    <:;an..adi J~mnn Number 162 / Janua r y 1965 Cereal box coupons and soap package enclosures do not general­ ly excite much enthusiasm from the editor of 'Canadian Rail', but we must admit we are looking forward with some eagerness to comp­ leting our collection of RAILWAY MUGS currently being distribut e d by the Quaker Oats Company, in their specially-marked packages of Quaker Oats. This series of twelve hot chocolate mugs depicts the develop - ment of the steam locomotive in Canada from the 0-6-0 "Samson", to the CPR 2-10-4 #8000. The mugs are being offered by the Quaker Oats Company of Cana­ da to salute Canada's Centennial, and the part played by the rail­ ways and their steam locomotives in furthering the pro ~ ress of the nation. Each cup pictures an authentic locomotive design -- one shows a Canadian Northern 2-8-0, a type of locomotive that made a major contribution to the country's prairie economy by moving grain from the Western provinces to the Lakehead -- another shows one of the Canadian Pacific's ubiquitous D-10 engines. There are 12 different locomotives in the series - each a col­ lector's item. The reproductions are precisely etched in decora­ tive colours and trimmed with 22k gold.

  • Cta 2016 Historical Calendar Cta 2016 January
    cta 2016 Historical Calendar cta 2016 January Chicago Motor Coach Company (CMC) bus #434, manufactured by the Ford Motor Company, was part of a fleet of buses operated by the Chicago Motor Coach Company, one of the predecessor transit companies that were eventually assimilated into the Chicago Transit Authority. The CMC originally operated buses exclusively on the various park boulevards in Chicago, and became known by the marketing slogan, “The Boulevard Route.” Later, service was expanded to operate on some regular streets not served by the Chicago Surface Lines, particularly on the fringes of the city. Chicagoans truly wanted a unified transit system, and it was for this reason that the Chicago Transit Authority was established by charter in 1945. The CMC was not one of the initial properties purchased that made up CTA’s inaugural services on October 1, 1947; however, it was bought by CTA in 1952.
