Viewing Album:  BCR Memories - October 1989
 
By:Donald Albertson
Dates:10/1/1989 - 10/5/1989
Album Info:I made a trip to Vancouver in 1989 to shoot the BCR MLW's after I'd heard about the order with GE for new power. The Superintendent of the BCR in North Vancouver was great; he made my release for the entire week and made it systemwide!
