One Event to Check Out Over the May Long Weekend
18 May 2023
Vancouver British Columbia - This Sunday is the 136th anniversary of the first transcontinental
passenger train arriving in Vancouver, and locomotive enthusiasts will be marking the milestone in
Yaletown.
Starting at noon, Canadian Pacific Railway's locomotive number 374 will be stationed outside 181 Roundhouse Mews and
"all steamed up," according to organizer George Game.
The locomotive is not capable of steaming so one would suspect
a smoke generator will be in operation.
According to the event listing, the Little Mountain Brass Band will be performing, and free coffee and cake will be
available.
"Come down and see the locomotive that joined a nation!" said Game.
