Well-there seams to be some general BCR news I would like to give you so you can be in touch with BCR happenings Cariboo Prospector -5-6 car train season has started - Fares were all increased about 5% Whistler Explorer - LOOSING $$$ Pacific Starlight Dinner Train - Right now the Dinner Train is having alot of problems. Some may think that the $100 they are charging is too much, but the actual reason is that the train has gotten kinda old in the Vancouver community. There are always tourists, but not enough to sustain the Train. They are currently having a specialist come in and try and find a way to make the train attractive again, to get more passengers. -Royal Hudson - We are soon to recieve the new open car! There will be a small parade ect.. when it arrives! -The Dome Car is coming too! - The new add BCR has, since it isn't the Royal Hudson any more is calling the train the BC Rail Squamish Steam Train Excursion. - North Wind - A name specialist should be in soon to give it a new name if you would like details on this new train E Mail me at BCRailKing@Canada.com Happy Railroading!

Dane N. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> The DOME IS HERE! And let me tell you first, they are very ugly. 3 tone brown, it really does not work for me. There numbers are BCOL 1705, BCOL 1704, and BCOL 1703. BCOL 1705 should see service on the Royal Hudson, as the dome is not tinted as in this area that is not as essectial as the area where the North Wind will be running. Also, The new open car is due to be on BCR property in about 2 weeks. Both cars should be on the Royal Hudson (BC Rail Steam Train) in about 3-4 weeks. We will have a 'special' run when they do there first run. Happy Railroading!! Dane N. ------------------ BC Rail King TAMR2860@Canada.com for TAMR info. BCRailKing@Canada.com
