My grandpa used to tell me stories of how they'd catch a freight from Drumheller into Calgary for the weekend, and then back to Drum Sunday night. This was back in the early 30's, and since few people had cars and there was no bus, it was the freight or nothing.
Of course then he'd go on into a rant about how we young'uns have it soft, but I never noticed him passing up a ride to town, either...
