Well, I'm Canadian, eh? Live in Quebec. But share some boarder with New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. We used to be at one end of the only VIA Rail train to ever enter American soil as a VIA Rail train....the Atlantic (Montreal to Halifax by way of Maine)

Bob and Nance:
I hope everything's going great for you guys. Of course, my signature is nothing more than a plain old joke, but the snow is starting to get on my nerves. (We have about 23 inches now, and its still snowing) It would be nice to get AZ sunshine!
So I guess Ill have to be patient and wait untill summer arrives.[8D]

California!!!
The home of the world famous Tehachapi Loop, Cajon Pass, Feather River Canyon, Los Angeles Union Station, SP's (now UP's) Coast Line, AT&SF's old Pasadena Subdivision, and Milepost 2219.4 (oh...you've probably never heard of that,[:D] one but oh well), and so much more!!! Home of the pass with the greatest annual snowfall in the US, and so much more. And did I mention the trains aren't bad either. But I also spend quite a bit of time in New Mexico, home of the also quite famous Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad.
