I have good intentions. Of course, we know what is paved with those. I was first tipped off about this train by an email from a correspondent, dated May 5, 2010. I began work on it, but got distracted. Nearly five years later I'm going through my files, and what do I find but a half-completed timetable for the Alouette and the Red Wing. If you're still out there, Mike, I apologize....
