They do have a NHL team, and better curlers ! [;)]



But how do they pronounce "about"?
Generally a lurker by nature

Be Alert
The world needs more lerts.

It's the 3rd rail that makes the difference.

AC was purchased by Wisconsin Central, which itself became part of the Canadian National CN system.

Funny that two of the major railroads in Wisconsin are "Canadians"... then there's all those geese too...

I just took a look at the Proximity Issues rail map of Ontario. I was looking to see if Algoma Central was still around. Did they got bought out by Canadian National or were they always a part of the CN rail system[?]
