The trip started on a beautiful sunny morning in London. GEXR 1400 was added to our train and would be
our chaperone for the entire trip. Special thanks to GEXR for allowing us to use this bit of railway history
and thanks to all the GEXR crews for providing their services. Off we headed to Stratford with a special stop in Thorndale
where we were met by most of the town. St Marys was not to be out done and there were many people at the station.
Crossing the St Marys trestle was a highlight of this trip. Then on to Stratford to get ready for the Goderich run in the morning.
