it's not a good place for children to live. <<

If memory serves it still holds the record for the

I can understand that, Paul.

I've heard of that railway - it crops up in a science fiction book, 'Intervention' by Julian May. I love reading her books because she doesn't feel the need to explain all these places or all the phrases. That way when I re-read them once a year or so I usually find that I now recognise something new.

Last year it was Banff, after I stayed there on my visit to the Rockies, and this year it will be Mount Washington. There really is a railway (but it's unlikely to be the site of a mind-power world conference), and the weather really is pretty awful in the winter.
