A CN switcher soon came by and we stuck our thumbs out for a ride. The engineer stopped the train and motioned us in the cab. What a thrill to be in the cab. The engineer said they were going to Hull to pick up some cars and stopped at the beginning of the Prince of Wales bridge to let us off. It was a short cab ride and I still remember this thrill of my chidhood from at least 60 years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-21516775156968684422016-03-20T01:20:06.031-04:002016-03-20T01:20:06.031-04:00Very intriguing,I can see the bridge from my place...Very intriguing,I can see the bridge from my place always wanted to see that perspective!!

Looks like an important link that may(???) live on.<br /><br />I understand there is a disparity in economic activity and services between Gatineau and Ottawa, which may explain the lack of political will to link by means of transportation other than buses.<br /><br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.com
