Some nice pics there!
I remember as a kid on family vacation I got to do some railfanning in SK.... I could see the train coming for 3 days!
But seriously - my dad worked for the CPR in Moose Jaw when he was a teenager - my grandfather was postmaster then, and the post office was located in the station at the time. He had tons of storys about working in the yards and the shops, so when we went out for a family vacation, we wheedled a tour through the roundhouse and the station. I'll have to rummage around and see if I can find the pics from that trip.
