27th, Stratford to Goderich
 

I had looked forward to this trip for almost 6 months and thought I would take about 100 pictures or more.

Unfortunately, the trip was sold out and looking after the customers was a full time job. I didn't mind as seeing all

the happy faces and people at every crossing was fantastic. The trip lasted almost 9 hours with satisfied and tired

fans arriving back in Stratford at about 19:00.

Goderich put on a special welcome with over 600 people and the pipe band at the station

to meet us. The deputy mayor presented Roy Broadbear with the city flag and Kase Vandenheuvel opened

his recently renovated CN Station for us. If you are in the area, make sure you drop in for a visit.
