This post is for the husband of my blogger friend in Vancouver. I know he is fighting a difficult battle for his health with my friend at his side. I know he loves trains as much as I do and I hope my train pictures will reach him and cheer him up. I thought of him when I took them. All the best to both of you.
Train enthusiasts and those among you who may just want to see something really cool, check out the You Tube video link below. At about 2.34 minutes in you will see how this 19th century engineering feat really works. The Wikipedia link below provides a brief description of the Loop.
