Football fans in Swift Current took advantage of a Wednesday afternoon opportunity to get up close and personal with the Grey Cup during a four hour visit by the Grey Cup 100 Train Tour.

Swift Current was one of the select communities where the Grey Cup is appearing aboard a specially retrofitted train that includes a car showcasing the Grey Cup, a special museum car that captures its long and storied history, and a team car that celebrates the special place today's CFL teams have in their communities and the hearts of their fans across the country.
