3. I took the train from Vcr to Montreal and back, many years ago.

It's remarkable how little has changed in almost 60 years. The Rockies are jaw-dropping, the prairies are stultifying, but all in all, it was a fine trip. Being able to order anything from the menu that I wanted was pretty awesome.....although limited, after a couple of days.

Thanks for the memories!
