Visited David Young, the Leica Reflex Group fearless leader in Logan Lake 
last weekend.  On the way home we stopped in Summerland and rode the Kettle 
Valley steam train.  Nice little ride with great scenery.  Breaking in my 
photo legs again.

Here is the train in the station before we left:

The engine was hooked up backwards on the way down the grade, so our car 
looked directly at the front of the engine,

Inside our luxury coach, before we took off.  I did fill up about half way 
by the time we departed.

At the end of the run, the engine disconnected, and moved to the other side 
of the train for the trek back up hill.  Here it is coming alongside our 
coach.

It got thirsty on the way back, so needed a drink

It was a fun trip to break up the ride home.

Comments welcome.
