Here's a short Canadian rail adventure from 1959. <br />In early 1959 I was in the process of being laid off from GE in Erie PA and was scrambling to find a new job. I had an interview in Philadelphia on a Monday AM. I could have taken the PRR direct, but that would be boring. I rode the NYC to Buffalo then TH&B to Hamilton. Then a taxi crosstown to the CN station where I awaited the EB Maple Leaf. This turned out to be my last run behind CN steam and my last ride in a lower berth in a heavyweight Pullman. The routing was CN to Niagra Falls, LV to Bethlehem PA and RDG to Philly. On the way home I did the boring thing and rode the Penn. So being laid off wasn't ALL bad.
