At 0830 on a spectacular Vancouver morning, CP was hard at work getting a twelve car Royal Canadian Pacific train—the first cruise of the season—prepped for the party of lucky travellers who would spend the day lounging and sipping drinks as the scenery. A half hour later, the classic consist was rolling out of Vancouver to start the first leg of its journey nearly 400 miles to Revelstoke.

    A great picture indeed! It brings back memories of my first ocean voyage 45 years ago. We arrived at the CPR station on The Canadian, pulled by similar locomotives, and walked the short distance to the CPR pier to board a CPR ship – a much smaller ship than that huge vessel in the photo.

    Beautiful view. I am rather surprised at the lack of vehicular traffic. Sure isn’t Toronto!!
