I opened this thread expecting a regular train with a moose strapped to the front.

Wouldn't that be a regular hunting train?

Seriously, I never knew we had an armored train in Canada... that make sense though given the size of the country and some level of fear of a Japanese invasion of the west coast...

That's very cool.  Wonder where it is?

Bob Murch probably has it in his backyard.

Probwbly has vintage plates on it.  Can only drive it on weekends

Very cool - thanks for this.

I used to live one street over from the Transcona Yards.
