Car 1220 - Steveston Tram (BCER)

Sunday's adventure landed us in the Steveston area(of Richmond). (Don't try and stop for coffee first thing in the morning if you're driving. There is NO parking anywhere).

We made a quick stop at Terra Nova Park in Richmond before stopping at The Steveston Tram Museum on No. 1 Rd & Moncton to visit one of the seven remaining tram cars bought from the St. Louis Car Co. in Missouri, USA. (There were originally seven cars purchased).
Steveston has this tram #1220, and there are two other' sister' cars in BC.
One is at The Burnaby Village Museum (at time of this upload it is closed to the public but open for ticketed events such as 'Haunted Village' and 'Haunted History Walk'. It is open seasonally; spring, summer and Christmas.
Another is with The Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society that operates one hour tour rides around Cloverdale (and wouldn't you know it, at time of this upload, the Cloverdale @ Christmas tour is sold out)
And a third 3rd resides in the Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. 

So, onto some photos along the way, at the tram and on the way home:

Happy Hallow'een

Fast water

Sunday was filled with the usual stop for a couple of coffees and a couple of photo opportunities.

I think the news network 'meteorologists' have been getting creative with help from ChatGPT for the last few years to come up with near-extinction weather terms to scare the hot water out of us.

"Heat Wave" is now "Heat Domes! We're all gonna Die!" to keep us on high alert.

"Blizzard" is now "Polar Vortex! We're all gonna Die!" to terrify us.

"Seasonal Heavy rainfall w/chances of flooding." wasn't worrisome enough. so is now refered to as "Atmospheric River! We're all gonna Die!"

They've managed to make summer, autumn and winter terrifying. We need to find a horrifying upgrade for "Spring Thaw".

We'll see what they land on if we live through the soon to be upon us "Polar Vortex" (sometimes refered to by some as 'snowmagedon')

And people still don't believe there's such a thing as "Climate Change".

Anyway, got a few shots of some fast moving higher that normal water due to the Atmospheric River that just dumped buckets of rain on our area.

Changing colours and a little birdseed

This time of year the weather is hit and miss, and all in the same day. A rainy, cloudy morning sky can be as beautiful as a clear brilliant blue one. This past Sunday's sky was no exception.

Mackin House, Blue Mountain Park, Coquitlam

 Two spots to shoot in one trip. and it was a gorgeous day to do it.
