is rocky mountain the only operation which knows how to design and run a tourist train ?

ON has great colours and the train looks fantasic

with a full length dome , then they add freight cars

the whole impression is that of not knowing what they are doing

it is a train with a mixed purpose, most of the passengers are local people some of whom take their vehicles in and out with them, the boxcars are for carrying baggage that does not fit in the boxcar. There is a lot of baggage since when local people go out they tend to a lot of shopping since prices in Moosonee are very high so they bring back a lot of stuff. The train was originally focused on tourists and that is still part of the service.

Great video Paul... the lighting is perfect. I love this train now... it's pretty much a "Little Bear" with a dome car...lol

Thanks for this video. I would love to ride this train sometime. I've been to Cochrane but didn't get to ride it.
