Marathon Train Wreck Winter 77/78
On the same train wreck, I think in winter of 77/78, which was just about a mile west of Heron Bay, were wooden barrels of uncut booze, small B& W TV's. As well, there were men's 3-piece pin-striped suits, brown, blue, black, and one other colour. A few fellas picked up suits, put them on, went into the bar at Heron Bay and started shooting pool. A lot of the boys graduating that year from Grade 12 were wearing their "Track Wreck Suits." I know a school mate who got caught by CPR/OPP police trying to roll away a barrel of booze in the snow- he spent a night in jail, then they kicked him loose.
