On the rails Mike Ford is NARCOA’s Excursion Coordinator for this trip, and hails from Planfield, Indiana. He said there will be 22 motor cars, one member-owned hy-rail. “I have enjoyed railroads since I was three years old and grew up in the Detroit area. I have been in this hobby since 1996 and have been coordinating excursions since 2001," he said. "The longest trip I coordinated was last year. The Pas, MB to Churchill, MB...7 days... and about 1,150 miles. I usually coordinate 4 to 6 trips in any given year.
Ontario Northland Kate Bondett is the Communication and Issues Management Specialist for Ontario Northland. “This activity caters to a niche tourism group who contribute to local economies throughout the tour -- and also pays homage to traditional rail practices that many community members along the corridor still remember.”
