One more Canadian train story where nothing scary or funny happened and then I'll shut up! Happy Feet's Yellowhead Hwy story brought back a memory...
This trip I flew to Calgary for a loop to repeat a previous Icefields Parkway trip. When I got to Jasper I decided to ride the Yellowhead Highway back south like Happy Feet did but only as far as Kamloops before continuing the loop back east. I decided to take the train from Kamloops to Salmon Arm, just a short hop, to avoid the Trans-Canada highway before cycling south towards Peachland.
It was morning and I was enjoying coffee while sitting and chatting with a really pretty girl in the observation car. Suddenly the conductor came up looking for me. I looked out the window and saw my bike and panniers sitting on the platform. We had arrived at Salmon Arm already but I was too distracted by my new friend to notice!
