The railway has been many things to a lot of different people: a
lifeline, a party, an adventure. Although you may still be able to
travel on a few of the trains featured in Sentimental Journey
(the Newfie Bullet, the "Peg," the "Prince George Eventually") many live
on only in the memories of railwaymen and passengers, hooligans and
honeymooners, young and old alike.
Illustrated with many vintage and current photographs, Sentimental Journey brings
to life, in nostalgic and entertaining oral history, the many faces of
train travel in Canada. From the days when the dining cars were the
ultimate in sophistication, advertised throughout North America and
Europe, to memorable events of more recent times, such as the
Mississauga derailment, Sentimental Journey is sure to delight anyone
who has traveled, or has dreamed of traveling, on the famous trains of
Canada.
