Another obscure member of the Mooney Station Gallery. That’s the Crows Nest Pass line I believe.
Very excellent Arnold.
Nice one Arnold !
Yack hold’s a place near and dear to my heart, thanks for sharing this.
Let’s be honest here — did you get a shirt Arnold?
Ya, I did get a shirt!!! Blue with white lettering. What was amazing was I went down to Burlington along the lakeside park (Spencer Smith) wearing this shirt not long after and I met a guy wearing the same damn thing !!! Of course we had to talk and laugh about it. We had both bought them at the same variety store out there. No, I don’t still have it
) Yeah, not only 40+ years ago, but I kinda outgrew it.

Matt: Glad you liked this image. Its good to see it is appreciated.
This is a quirky little town where, for years, the Spokane International mixed train connected wit CP. Now, huge UP / CP freights come through here from the U.S. to Cranbrook and east.
Hi, I tried to submit a message to apply for permission to use this photo in a book I am publishing for my family. Possibly because I am not a Canadian citizen it would not send. I am a citizen of the USA and reside in Lacey, Washington, USA. It is a book of my Canadian born Grandmother’s memoirs and she mentions the Yaht Train Station when she took a train to the United States in 1913 when she was twelve. By the way her, Great Grandfather was Thomas Phillips, Phillips Square in Montreal. Any help in submitting my request to the right individuals would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Feel welcome to use this photo,Shelia !!! Good Luck with the book!!

An amusing personal story is that some years ago, as in the mid-1980s, I was walking in Spencer Park in Burlington, Ontario, where I lived at the time, wearing my blue T-Shirt which read: I’ve Been To Yahk and Back”. I bought this at the small store in Yahk. What are the odds that someone walking toward me was wearing the exact same T-shirt in the same colour!!!? Bought, of course, at the same store.
We had some good laughs over that.
OOPS!! Now I see I had already posted that story. Oh well.
