[AccessD] OT: The Polar Express

If you are a train fan this one runs bi weekly every summer.
I thought of it when I saw the movie trailers.
Polar Bear Express from Cochrane to Mooseonee.

Not many polar bears there, as they are generally around Churchill 500 
further west
Rode the train  years ago one way, as we canoed up the Missinaibi river, 
took the train back.
Don't do this route without a guide, unless you have done a lot of 
wilderness routes
Portages around Thunderhouse falls are not marked correctly on topo maps 
and can kill you.
When we did it in the early 70's, we were working off hand written notes 
by a previous canoeist.
It is better marked now.
