 A train crossing the Niagra Suspension Bridge, perhaps?

Forget it! Not a chance. No, not on a bridge. However, I was definitely looking at a train--not sure, but I think it was CP up on that hill. So I guess I give it to Henry for saying Niagara Falls. Objections?

Mark, I know it sounds like a copout, but I don't have said picture--one of my sisters does, I think. It's a slide. My dad thought it was hilarious, but I'm rather proud of the concept, regardless of how homely I was (little if any improvement since then, by the way). After all, that train was moving and would be gone; the river and the Falls have stayed around for a while.
