"Trout Lake" brings up the rear of the fabled Agawa Canyon Tour Train as it rolls into the morning fog at Heyden, Ontario. In less than a week's time, this world-renown train would make its final run under the ownership of Canadian National, bringing forth another chapter in a decade of change on the old Algoma Central to a close. If there's one thing that Saultites, the sightseers aboard this train and I share in common, is a mutual hope for the continued operation of this train under its new ownership. Watco is set to takeover operations of the former Algoma Central in the new year.
