Dayliner to Saskatoon

emoji-timeline

In the late 1950s, I was a patient of Dr. Schacter, the only orthodontist in Saskatchewan. My parents would drive me from Colgate to Regina to catch the CN Dayliner (a Budd Car, self propelled rail coach) to Saskatoon.

CN No. 607 eng D-203 St Paul Jct AB 9-05-63 PAC321

I was about 10 years old.

I’d check in with the “Traverllers Aid” volunteers at their booth in the train station and then make my way across the street to Dr. Schacter’s office. After my appointment, I would return to the station, check in again at Traveller’s Aid and await the return dayliner to Regina.

Funny thing, I remember the bathrooms in the train station. There was one closet that was free to use, but the remainder were coin operated and required a dime!

Verse for today:

“But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief.”
