Premier Graham, the Irvings, MP Greg Thompson, etc will be there. Free bbq, etc. They have done a ton of work sprucing up the yard, new signage, crushed rock, you name it. Word is they're announcing the new rail (130lb?) for the SJ to Brownville line. That's why veteran affairs minister Thompson will be there. Hopefully if anyone is interested it's a good photo op. According to the boys in the yard they wll have every piece of equipment you can imagine parked in front of the station. Even put in three special ties with decorative white stone/ballast for a ceremonial spike driving ceremony! No Craigellachie but it should be interesting! lolJody Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861766583430796001noreply@blogger.com
