Our old Pacific Central station here in Vancouver serves Amtrak, VIA Rail Canada and several bus companies, which keep it fairly animated most of the day.  Actually, now that I think of it, the old Canadian Pacific station is intermodal too, serving suburban commuter rail, ferry ("sea bus") and 2 subway lines.

Further to the discussion of "1st Class lounges", the space in the Vancouver VIA station that used to be the station restaurant "back in the day" has been repurposed as such a lounge.  However, it's too small to handle the crowds in the high season. In summer the crowd spills out onto a patio and sometimes there's a live band. Very festive.

Sounds like an interesting station.

A trip on the South Devon Railway last month with grandchildren - sadly only ½ hour each way.


 (expect there's a technical term)

Oh, a steam train!  Hooray!

We too have been taking our grandson on a steam railway, in this case the Kent and East Susses railway.
This pic is of the first steam engine,(or anything else), to travel at 100 miles per hour.


I like this one too, Jess.   Smiley

Last weekend Pete and Eric took this one-shot-only three day train trip through northern California and southern Oregon.

I hope they might be enticed to describe their trip and post pictures here!

Or at least a public link to their Facebook albums!

Folk here are celbrating the 125th anniversary of the arrival of the first trans-Canada passenger train at Port Moody.  At that time, Port Moody was the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It is now a (rather pleasant) suburb of Vancouver.

http://portmoodymuseum.org/2011/06/17/125th-cpr-train-anniversary-celebration/

This site has a nice picture of the steam locomotive that hauled the first passenger train to travel past the original Port Moody terminus into Vancouver. The Roundhouse that houses it is about 10 blocks from my humble home:

Here's a little bit more on the locomotives that hauled the first train into Port Moody and the first train into Vancouver:

These folk are also commemorating the first trans-Canada train (for a price).  Scroll down to "Royal Pacific Express"::
