Traffic Rerouted During Spirit of 150 Stop

Mission City British Columbia - Traffic along First Avenue will be two-way during most of today (26 Jun 2008) in anticipation of the CP Spirit of 150 Rail Tour, which stops in Mission from 12:45 p.m. until 3:45 p.m.
 
North Railway Avenue will be closed for a few blocks to accommodate the tour's arrival here. The CP Spirit of 150 Rail Tour includes the vintage CP 2816 Empress steam locomotive and support cars, two vintage passenger coaches, a vintage business car, a heritage baggage car converted into a traveling museum, and a vintage stage car. Visitors can view historic displays, watch a stage show and interact with costumed performers depicting some of B.C.'s most entertaining and notorious historical figures.
 
As part of the project, the Royal BC Museum (RBCM) has transformed a 1958 Union Pacific baggage car into a rolling museum - a traveling version of Free Spirit:  Stories of You, Me, and B.C.
