Just thought I'd share this video here which is on the Last Spike. The anniversary of the Last Spike on the CPR has just passed and Canadian comedian Rick Mercer recently ran this segment on his show. I really enjoyed this video -- lots of awesome scenery, great shots of CPR diesels and interesting history.
Enjoy!

Very cool! Rick's stuff is always great - he seems so happy and grateful to be having these experiences.

Thanks ... Yeah, he is just like a kid! Maybe he's actually a rail-fan. Sure acts like one. I really enjoyed the scenery and the great views of the diesels, both from the inside and outside.
