Scene
A westbound train, Passenger Extra 6001 West, a seasonal excursion service carrying vacationers from the Minaki region of Northwestern Ontario, had been given orders at Malachi, Ontario, 100 miles (160 km) east of Winnipeg to meet Canadian National Railways train No. 4, the eastbound Continental Limited at Vivian. These orders were changed subsequently, so that the meeting point was relocated 16 miles (26 km) westward, for a meet at Dugald, 14 miles (23 km) east of Winnipeg. These second orders had been received at Elma.

Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
In states unborn and accents yet unknown!”

What will suffice. It has not always had
To find: the scene was set; it repeated what
Was in the script.
Then the theatre was changed
To something else. Its past was a souvenir.”
