I don't get out much anymore, so we'll dip into the archives this week...


Back when 1361 was held in captivity up at the Curve.  Winter 1982/83





I never did get a shot of the whole thing all at once.

But I did get this:

exPC SD45's in helper service! 

Pardon the funky shots, it was the best I could muster from the old instamatic...

Nice. Mind if I save this one to my computer?

If N scale had good SD40-2s, C30-7s, U30Cs, SD45s, SD40s, and SW10s; I'd be in N scale.

1980 shot of a CP local in Kitchener, Ontario working what used to be the Grand River Railway. This photo was taken 2yrs before I was born by a late former member of my model railway club.



Note the funky fiberglass door on the 40' boxcar...

Someone on the Atlas forum caught something in my photo of the engine sneaking around the bush.  Check out the engineer's hand in the window.  LOL.

I'm not entirely convinced that is the bird in the cab window. To me it looks more like a cup and straw.
if you can't conduct yourself, conduct freight

You are correct.  I blew the photo up in Photoshop and it's a cup and straw.  I have gotten the finger from some crewmen in the past.

Charlie,
That LOCX cab sure looks like the cab on the old Con Cor N scale SW units.  Any shots from above?
