| | | I went to the museum of Science and Tech. or whatever they call it now. The building/warehouse behind was open and they have some pretty cool stuff in there. Unfortunately it was dull and my digital camera didn’t have the flash power to get any good pics. In the train area they had the Governor General’s private cars and even one of the old ‘box’ electric locomotives from the Montreal commuter run. There were plenty of old cars (Studs Bearcat) , farming equipment, busses, and even some old fire engines (one from Val David). The impromptu guide told us that there were two other warehouses like the one we were in and they will open them up, on certain dates, over the summer. I will keep this forum posted.
