That's wonderful!  CP has a tradition of tradition, if you know what I mean.  Very proactive of them to get started young. They might just raise a generation of young Canadians who, in their politics and practices, will have a much better idea about what a railway is and what it can do.  I wish them well and wish some of the lines down here would do similar acts.  -  a.s.
