Quite the collection of locomotives and rolling stock to be found at Eastend, a village not far from the US border in SW Saskatchewan. Apparently the owner wants to get a tourist train up and running. Part of the collection includes former VIA 6304 and 6311, (x-CN/VIA 6509, 6529) KJRY 1750, 1761 (x-AC,VIA) and steam jenny RPCX 15475 along with an impressive set of rolling stock. The outfit, to operate under the name Eastend Scenic Rail Tours, is not yet up and running as far as I know. My main concern is where they will get the riders from. The area is sparsely populated and rather a long way from anything.
