NOTEBOOK
full, lighting up a panorama of white
peaks, pale green meadows, and
surging rivers.
He told of a successful public pro-
test which saved a scenic English train
route from Margaret Thatcher's axe.
The British, like Canadians, depend on
rail service for business and pleasure.
Heading home to the East:
• A Winnipeg man on a business
trip to Toronto said he had spent
enough years in the airforce getting
from point A to point B in the shortest
time possible. If time allows, he now
takes his business trips by train.
When I asked him what he thought
about the VIA rail cuts, he launched
into a well -honed attack on the Bay
Street Boys in Toronto and Brian
Mulroney and his Ottawa gang.
Winnipeg and the West, he added,
will be hurt seriously by the cuts both
in terms of service and loss of jobs.
"Winnipeg is the hub of all East-West
rail traffic, freight and passenger."
• A former schoolteacher from
Eastern Canada was travelling from
sea to sea. She felt such a trip should
be made free to every Canadian kid in
Grade 7. This would "strengthen our
national bond," she said, and appro-
priately, because trains are part of
Canada's heritage.
It was shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday
when the train descended from the
plains into the blanket of lights which
is Toronto.
Several of us were gathered in the
lounge area of the dome car, munch-
ing on pieces of fresh McIntosh apples
supplied by a Saskatchewan farm
couple and homemade cookies from a
Calgary grandmother who was visiting
her first grandchild in Toronto.
The Saskatchewan farm wife
was taking names for her diary and a
Chicago couple was exchanging ad-
dresses as the train lumbered toward
the looming CN Tower.
Only then did we realize we must
get back to our seats and luggage.
We stood in unison and in silence,
knowing whatever we'd experienced
together was over.
"Have a nice life!" someone said.
It broke the awkwardness of the
moment. We laughed, then went our
separate ways into the night.°
