Whistler Mountaineer and Royal Hudson

Porteau Cove British Columbia - My wife and I went on the Whistler Mountaineer on 10 Jun 2010 for the day.
 
It was a nice trip, a little pricey, but we got a cut rate.
 
In any event, on the way back we were approaching Porteau Cove, and I decided to stand in the WCRA open observation car, "Henry Pickering", to get a few photos.
 
I saw this big cloud of steam at the cove and thought, "this has got to be the Hudson".
 
 

The West Coast Railway Association's Royal Hudson, number 2860, on the siding at Porteau Cove - 10 Jun 2010 Andy Cassidy.
 
 
Sure enough it was, and I got a couple of shots.
 
Nobody on the train knew it was there, so no one else was in a position to get any pictures.
 
I lucked out.
