Due to circumstances beyond their control the West Coast Railway Association regretfully announces that the classic steam excursion has been cancelled. The threat of labour disruption has made it impossible to commit to the plan of operating the Royal Hudson between North Vancouver & Squamish on October 2, 2010.
