Long before he ran engines, Dennis Holdener started on the railway calling crews. Calling Bob Lymburne to work perplexed Dennis as Bob was always ready and waiting when he arrived. Bob's position as a permanent fireman in the Revelstoke yard reflected CP's strong connection to the community and as Dennis learned needed to be respected. A famous world record ski jumper in his youth, Bob Lymburne suffered an accident leaving him with limit abilities.22
