Steam train to McLean Mill - near Port Alberni






We took a steam train ride into the woods to the old McLean Mill, passing “Flag Waving Sally” and some other very friendly locals. The photo of Sally is on the return trip, when she was not as animated.


Our train companions were Ray and Jean from Massachusetts. They have also been our neighbors in the last two campgrounds, and they have a nice cocker named Freckles. Well, usually nice; he barked most ferociously the two times I mistook his trailer for our trailer.

Jean is from Nova Scotia so they get to the Maritimes often. Ray is retired from the Postal Service and is a very convincing defender of our postal service verses the system in Canada. I notice from his license plate that he is also a Purple Heart veteran.
