Memories Of The Lambert Fuel Yard
Gordon has sent in some memories of the Lambert Fuel Yard owned by his Dad in Canada and writes:
“My father owned a fuel yard in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. It was called Lambert Fuel and was served by steam and diesel trains. I watched them deliver the coal cars and spot them in front of the coal bins for my Dad to unload. There was many different kinds of coal stored at Lamber Fuel.
Some times the train crew would come and have coffee with my Dad and operate my model railway which was 0 and 027. They seemed to have greater fun operating my train set then there own. I would get rides in the cab of the engines to the rail yard across the street from the Fuel Yard, now know as the Forks. I used to stand along the tracks and watch they switch the cars and wave at the engineer.
My Dads Fuel Yard is gone now and is the home of the Winnipeg Goldeyes baseball field, home of The Fish.
