Well Tom, this has been a great thread. I have read through it from start to finish and have been greatly entertained. My only personal experience on Canadian Passenger Trains was a brief trip from Kentville (in the Annapolis Valley, former DAR/CPR tracks to Windsor Junction, then CN to the city) to Halifax in 1987 onboard an RDC Dayliner. Exciting for me at the time, I was seventeen and this was my first solo trip to "The City" (yes, I had a sheltered life) The thing I remember most was not the train ride (sadly) but the very, very cold walk from the station in Halifax's South end to Scotia Square in the North end. I had an interview with an ROTC officer to look at my prospects for college and a possible future in the Canadian Forces. (That didn't pan out, I went to college but on my own dime and did wind up working for the Government, but in the civilian public service sector, not the military. Oh well it was definitely worth the train ride) . Thanks for the great read. PS Your recollections of Nova Scotia ale, could you perhaps be referring to Nova Scotia's finest, Alexander Keiths India Pale Ale? Brewed only in Nova Scotia since 1820 it represents, in my humble opinion, the finest ale in all the Commonwealth and the former colonies. And though I did not partake of it on my train ride to Halifax in '87, I have imbibed regularly since then. (Well, officially only after I turned nineteen, the legal drinking age here in NS) They have a lovely website [url]www.keiths.ca[/url] and they offer tours of the brewery on Lower Water Street, just a short walk from the train station.
