Canadian National Railway

October 4, 2019 Elaine-


My dad worked for the CNR until retirement age… when I was a little girl, i would GLARE at the competing company’s trains, Canadian PACIFIC Railway… I was too young to know what ‘flipping the bird’ was, otherwise i would have done that too 🙂
My dad would answer the phone, ‘Intermodal Sales, Kelly Speaking’ …he was a good salesman when he was young.

    You sniped a train! Your photo brings back memories. My dad worked for a railroad as a boy and never lost interest in those huge machines.

      yes, there is a train that runs thru town out by our RV and it runs past where our RV lot is, making a lot of train horn noise… our dads have something in common, how cool is that??
