A Few Views of Expo 86 in Vancouver,BC.



by Chris Guenzler

Just a few of the pictures I took during my visit to Expo 86.





Canadian Pacific 374 was on display at their old roundhouse.





A general view of the Expo 86 grounds with the Monorail running overhead.





This is my second World's Fair. I visited the Spokane Expo 1974 and enjoyed the Swiss Exhibit featuring Swiss Trains. At Expo 86 the Swiss also brought their model trains for all to enjoy.





From Japan they brought their HSST Maglev Train which gave demonstration trip on a quarter mile guide way.





Interesting artwork was also included at Expo 86.





The Dome which has an Omni Max Theater is one of the few things remaining today from Expo 86.





The other thing still in Vancouver is the Skytrain which since has been expanded over the years
