Canada Day 2020

People far smarter than I have suggested that Canada's true birthday is November 7, 1885, the day the last spike was driven on the Canadian Pacific Railroad. CP has painted up 10 locomotives(SD70ACU's) in their original tuscan and red colours scheme, hearkening back to better; probably better times of the 1950's. The national debt was almost non- existent, and there were 2 daily cross country trains on CP as opposed to none now. Today, July 1st, one of these beautiful engines lead a now typically enormous freight train east of Cambridge Ontario, and the imagination of days past fills the heart. Happy Canada Day.
