The weather for the Allied Forces on D-Day was not ideal. Overcast, rough seas and fog made it hard for the landing craft and Soldiers to navigate the obstacles approaching the beaches. I guess it's appropriate that for today's approaching CP Train #528, with the D-Day tribute unit #6644 on point, 'less than ideal' weather conditions prevail as well. Thankfully, for all those that gave on D-Day, I have the freedom to go out and do what I enjoy regardless of the weather conditions. Thank You to all that serve to protect our Freedoms and remember those that gave the ultimate sacrifice as November 11th approaches.

    Geoff, very well stated. We must never forget, so many gave up so much so we have the freedom to do what we wish to do. Your picture of CP Rail 6644 sets the mood for the approaching Remembrance Day. This locomotive could easily have been numbered 111118. Thank you for your comments and posting , John
