Next time you are heading out to McAdam try to do it during the week. The contractors will let you have a peak at all of the renovations under way in the station. Lunch counter, dining room, old yard office (will be a conference room called the maxwell room), and telegraph office. Things are coming together very nicely for them. Suppose to be a grand opening of the lunch counter when they host the official NB day celebrations Aug 1st.Jody Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861766583430796001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600515.post-515309604568713612009-02-24T19:21:00.000-06:002009-02-24T19:21:00.000-06:00Hi Eric, I think the Cryo cars are carrying beer, ...Hi Eric, I think the Cryo cars are carrying beer, actually.

And where are those NBSR woodchip cars headed? Have also seen CN woodchip cars in some videos, where are they headed? None of these cars ever reach the Kingston Sub, sadly.<BR/><BR/>Eric Gagnon<BR/>Kingston, OntarioErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.com
