Where Are You From Victoria (Verdun) Comments: That pic' of the Murray Hill Bus today, must be misdated. I drove for Murral Hill in 1975 and we never had any coaches like that. It looks much older then that to me. I would say it is more likely 1965. Great memories just the same. Hi Robert. I got my first car, a Toyota Mk.11, in 1971. It was from that time ONLY, that most of the photos ouside of the Point, were taken with that car. It maybe 1974, but I believe it was 1975. The location of the photograph was at the St.Lambert Locks. Regards, George.
Where Are You From THE POINT/TORONTO Comments: THE PHOTO OF THE CABOOSE, TOOK ME BACK TO THE MANY DAYS I SPENT ON THEM. I WAS VERY LUCKY WHEN I GOT A JOB ON THE CNR, BACK IN 1954. I LOVE THE WORK AS I HAD GROWN UP PLAYING ON THE TRAINS AND THE PAY WAS GREAT. I WAS TRYING TO TELL MY GRAND KIDS HOW MUCH I MADE IN TODAY DOLLARS . I COULD BUY 33 CASES OF BEER ON A WEEK PAY, AND MANY TIMES THAT IS WHAT I DID WITH IT BACK THEN. BUT THE TRAVEL BUG GOT ME AND I HEADED OUT WEST. BUT I NEVER HAD AS GOOD A TIME THAN WORKING ON THE RAILROAD...
