I was doing some research and came across this great shot of a train order hooping taken by ace photographer Bill Hooper. It has a few of my favourite things … an agent with hoop in hand, a head-end brakeman with hoop in hand, a classic CPR station (Lake Windermere BC), a long freight train and a diesel in the CPR’s classic maroon and grey paint scheme. 

And look at the agent’s daughter!
