Under-consideration is runn- ing the train from Prince Rupert to Prince George with a passenger overnight stay in that city before continuing to Jasper for a connection to the intercon- tinental service. The train would overnight in Prince George on its way back to Prince Rupert. That’s different from the cur- rent service which begins and ends in Jasper and continues on through once it reaches Prince George. ‘'There’s been talk of that, It's under consideration but at this point of time we haven't looked into that any further un- til we hear from a federal tevel about the future of remote ser- vice,” said Whippy, An overnight stay in Prince George would match what a private company is doing on the southern B.C, run through the Rockies. The Rocky Mountaineer caters to tourists who want to enjoy the scenery by over- nighting in Kamloops. “Certainly we’ve been listen- ing to people and what the re- quests are for service.
