Hero Sandwiches sold here

This one is for my buddy Mark who has a superhero 'fetish'. This guy was outside a deli at the train station in Montreal.

I figure they must make a hell of a Hero sandwich...he has an excellent bread basket and maybe some extra sausage! Posted by Picasa

Entrance to Trains

One of the neatest things about travelling by train are the stations. These grand old buildings are a marvel of old style design, with their super high ceilings and art deco decour.

Once a crowded central gathering spot, many have been subdivided so much to make room for other offices and businesses, and train passengers are relegated to basement waiting rooms with less ambiance than a bus station. Posted by Picasa

Wait A While, Ont

You can still flag a train down in Canada; especially in the middle of nowhere. This is one of the more permanent 'shelters' where you can wait-a-while for the train that only comes past once every 2 days or so. These people were nearly missed, and we had to back up the train for about a mile. I wonder how long they were waiting?

I know on the Hudson Bay run they actually have ramps so you can load your snowmobile onto the baggage car. Posted by Picasa
