Excellent! My husband is a steam train “NUT” and an opportunity to ride the Empress 2816 is a dream. His model train layout is configured on the CPR and takes up one whole large room in our home - to give you an idea of his passion. Thank you so much for this opportunity and a happy 125th to Vancouver!
My wife and I were born in Vancouver, and the harbour is a very important part of my early years. I’d take the streetcar or bus to Pier C, to see the large cruise ships like the Aorangi from Australia, and later the Canberra. I also would visit the Vancouver Fire Boat. My wife’s parents lived on Cornwall Avenue overlooking the harbour and Kits beach. Early steam trains were also a wonderful way to travel as we both traveled with our parents to visit relatives in Alberta. I guess my age is showing, but the memories are still there.
This is a wonderful celebration for the prettiest city in Canada.
Thank you for the opportunity to know more about our lovely City.
Great to see we are going back to rail, the generator
of the future once again! Continue the legacy Canada!
I see a statue of Stanley with his cup!
Go Canada once again!
This is a very exciting contest to celebrate an important milestone in Vancouver’s history! It would be a thrill to win this contest as it’s been some 40 years since I’ve been on a train to anywhere and I would especially appreciate the beauty and majesty of the unfolding scenery and views throughout.
Excellent contest and very excited for the 125th anniversary for Vancouver!! I grew up with trains and know how exciting it is to be on one!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VANCOUVER-I was born in Vancouver General Hospital, 81 years ago, I guess i’m history
This would be a dream come true to win this contest !
This would be a dream come true to win this contest, Vancouver is a beautiful City. Go Canucks Go !
I come from a CPR family; my uncle drove the Royal Hudson, 2860,in Provincial Museum/BC Ministry of Tourist service after he retired from the CPR. As with other Vancouverites,I treasure the CPR, its history and its connection with Vancouver-and the value of its rail service to the port. The value of 2816 to remind us and other Canadians of that connection and the role of the CPR in current transportation, is worth every cent spent on it.
we would just love to be a part of this!
My AUNT told me of this Great contest and what a great way to celebrate!
It would be great to win. Many a mile behind the 2860
aand 5300′s.
This looks like it is a really neat and unique contest. I would love to learn more about my own city. I hope I win haha!
Go Canucks GO!
Never been to Vancouver what a Trip it would be
A must win to celebrate Vancouver’s 125th Anniversary, it would be a great experience and a memorable one!
How exciting and romantically historic!! I love trains and have my fingers crossed that I will be the lucky winner!! What a wonderful opportunity !!
Born at VGH 47 yrs ago! Great city, great history! Thanks Dr Jean Barman for all your research and yrs at UBC!
This part of Canada is spectacular and I would love to visit again being that it has been 21 years since my last trip there.
How exciting! Especially for newer residents such as me and my family. I had for 20 yrs. decided to retire here, and have no regrets. Truly, “Beautiful British Columbia”! You name it—-We got it,eh!
I Love Vancouver BC, what a great place to visit, so many many beautiful places to see. A very spectacular place.
Can somebody provide the link for the train/boat ride winners info please ??
