Does anyone here remember Expo 86 in Vancouver BC? Theme was transportation. They had an impressive train parade in a railyard where you could see quite a bit including a replica of one of the first locos in North America. I found a video tonight of the Great Steam parade; great memories I’d long since stopped thinking of. I lived in NYC at the time; it was amazingly difficult to get Expo and flight info, let alone a hotel, but well worth the effort.
