Steam Locomotive CN 6060: Stettler to Jasper 2001
From 20 October to 28 October, I had the privilege to run with the Rocky Mountain Rail Society on their historic trip from Stettler to Jasper. This was as part of a big historical weekend, when Jasper officially reopened the restored Grand Trunk Railway station house. 6060 brought in the special event train, and I got to chase it the whole way (that is, when I wasn’t driving the crew around or running errands). Never got to ride, but there are times when chasing is better.
