Excerpt from From Loneland to London in 1894: With Notes by the Way

Now for the packing! Oh my, the forgetting and remembering when it is too late! But here is our train, and travelling must begin in earnest. With the choice of 'two rails to ride on, we take the one along the south side of the track, and pray for the dignity to be off as monarch of all we survey. Oh, it is grand to be once more out of the worry-world and onto those blissful cushions where one can count other folk's frowns and favors as dogs barking at the moon. Purple is royal, and royal is the seat we begin with. The same old conductor too! We have seen him so often before, and been treated so kindly, that we are ready to rise up in his defence at midnight if need be. He is British to the core; and so is the C. P. R. But that hat must come down from the rack for here is Winnipeg the Capital of the West.
