As a resident of Vernon and surrounding area for 53 years, I've made my way under the Lumby Jct trestle countless times. The beauty and distinct scent of this ancient timber trestle always captures my attention. It's a visual treat watching trains pass over this iconic structure, built around the early 1900s. Still in use today. Just uploaded a video to YouTube of a CN train crossing it.

I can think of many nick-names, Hot Wheels Harvey, Raincoat Jones, Crash Adams, Potato Face Crandle, Windy Wilson, The Wooden Horse, Big John, Senker, and many others. Railroaders were so notorious for coming up with nick-names, part of the culture, eh? Cheers my friend, hope all is well. Rocky "Roadrunner" - Sam Dempsey's nick-name for me when I worked as a head-end flagman on the Clearwater Road Switcher..
