When I was away on vacation I was in Nelson for two nights! I stayed at the Prestige Inn which is right by the railway tracks! Numerous trains I saw go by! One went by early evening and one went by early morning every morning! The hotel I stayed at actually informs guests of the train at night and they supply earplugs in the rooms but it dident bother me at all! What I’m wondering is where would these trains be going or coming from??? The one I did snap a photo of was a Canadian Pacific and that was around 5:30pm! I don’t know much about trains but was curious to where they would be going?

I posted this video just over four years ago on YouTube. In that time, it garnered a few likes and in had about 500 views. Daily Hive did a post about the Thornton Tunnel last week, and embedded my video. The viewership to date this morning is just over 2,000! Read the article here. |
