Caption: On the morning of June 16,2015 the weed train left Creston, BC for Nelson, BC and beyond. The evening before nobody would or could tell when the train was to leave the next morning. After leaving the motel (the Downtowner Inn, in itself a sight with quite a charming lobby in the style of the very early 1970ies) in the morning the crews were just preparing for the day's trip. It did not take too long for the train to pass through at Koontenay Landing. Luckily the grass on the river bank was quite tall. By rolling and back and forth until the train came the very hungry mosquitos could at least be kept away from the legs.

Now THIS reminds me of some early years wandering around that area. Nice to know the ol’ Downtowner in Creston is still in business. I’m wondering if the RR station is still standing. Never thought I would see the day when someone posted a photo from Sirdar!!!!
Thanks for putting this one up.
You are most welcome Mr. Mooney. Basically I had written off ever getting a half decent picture at Kootenay Landing, and the Nelson Sub for that matter. But here you go. Living in Germany I have travelled a fair bit with an emphasis on China, and Canada. Now and again you get lucky. But even if you get lucky, this comes at a price. And the depot in Creston, it is gone. Whatever?
