Trains and I havのhad a rela-

years. It hasn、t CTeen parti-

halvのcome almost to theでar-

My son occasionally used
to tひke the train home from
the university, t>ut now he
drives home. My wife is forc-
ed to take the train to〇hi-

of the cost theぎte will not

trains have disappeared all-
most everywhere.
Asひkid in B.C., I never had
any occasion to ride the train
t>ut used to lie in t>ed at niぬht
and listen to the whistle of
the steam enぬines as they
sp>ed alonぬthe south side of
the Fraser River.
The CNR had, and mayCTe
St三doeひhave, a roundhouse

to vvalズat>out six miles to
attend manuail trajninぬat the
pwort Mann School since our
one-roomェjoきRoad School
was too small for such acti,
vities. ThereでroCTably were
no more than 24 kids from the
