In recognition of a century since the company was founded, Canadian Pacific organized Family Days open house opportunities at significant facilities for employees, and at Coquitlam Yard in Port Coquitlam, that included train rides on the X-Yard running lead.  On Sunday 1981-08-09, MLW S-4 CP 6518 with three coaches and a caboose took riders from the west end of the yard to the east end and back on a hourly schedule.
