[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Grinandbearit</i> <br /><br />I have never heard of Budds pulling freight cars anywhere in Canada . Maybe our friend in the Annapolis Valley could tell us if he knows anything about this. There might have been some instances on old Interurban lines where Gas-electric cars or trolleys pulled freight but never heard of Budds and freight. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />There were lots of instances when the Gas-electrics would haul very small freight trains (usually not more than one or two boxcars) on the old BC Electric Railway that ran from North Vancouver to Horshoe bay (now BC Rail soon to be CN). <br /> <br />There was a book I got from the library that had some awsome pictures of the old BC Electric Railway right of way, it was quite the thing to see. I think there was more grass on the right of way than I have in my front yard! [:)]
