At the moment, the cars are cabled together and anchored to train engines on both ends of the bridge, and the tanker cars are being pumped out. Here is a link to pictures and... Read More
Several days ago, I posted a blog about the flooding in our city. Today, I found this YouTube video as an update. Calgary Strong Song One more thing ... Have you heard of the calgary Exhibition and Stampede, the world famous rodeo and exhibition that takes over our city for 10 days in July? It is supposed to start in two weeks, but with the flooding, everyone was expecting to hear that it would be cancelled. Today, it was announced that it will start on time "HELL OR HIGH WATER"!...
