    CP may have never owned a U-boat, but looks like they had at least one Cutter. Unique shot of a unique operation, Bill.

    I have a warm spot for the ferry operations, especially those that supplied the isolated branchlines out west. Missed all of the ferry operations in Ontario too.. thanks for sharing!

    Congrats Bill! This photo (as of right now) is #2 all time on the site :)

    You edged my photo out after a few years at #2!

    Cheers and well deserved.

    I was working in Nelson B.C. in 1972 and sadly (foolishly)
    never went up to observe this operation.What a great shot.
