Another nice slug! 2 in a couple weeks might be a sign that I have to procure one....

Todd, the GP9b units had prime movers and actually had a control stand inside so the hostlers could move them. They were stand alone power, no other locomotive supplied electric to their traction motors. A slug has no prime mover.

Good stuff. Thanks for the education! B-units, slugs - both are worthy for future consideration.

The CNR U3A Northerns started life on the Grand Trunk Western RR but many were transferred to the CNR in the 40's.#6309 was preserved and has become a permanent resident on the Leetown Division.

The newest loco on the property (a patched GP39-2 (former Reading - the last locos the RR bought new)) is about to enter the Rockport tunnel from the south.

Something different---this photo was taken in my hometown in 1953 by Reg Button.This triple headed steam powered freight is heading south up the Niagara escarpment towards Hagersville---it's quite possible my late father was working on one of those locomotives.I tried to recreate a similiar scene on the Leetown Division.

Going back, back, back in time this week. 2009 to be exact. My first D&H locomotives pull through the southern Rockport tunnel portal onto a field of pink! You can see where I've planned out the river banks. My layout was 5 years old at the time and my time was divided between multiple people and things. My kids were 15 and 12 at the time. As we head into 2023, I reflect on what was, what is, and what's left to be done.
