A special rail-fanning adventure

David, this one is the VIA (ex-CN) station:



...and this one belongs to the CP:



On the way to Ed's place in the morning, I caught this on CP's ex-TH&B line as it crossed Mud St. in Grassie:



A couple of views inside the OSR's shops:





...and some more outdoor shots:













...an old acquaintance:



...and another view of the bridge:



more at Copetown:



A VIA train near Bayview:



...and another at Copetown:



...and a GO train coming...



...and going:



This last one is a scene from the past, as depicted in a mural on the side of a building in Hamilton. On May 27, 1953, CNR Mogul 88 and Mikado 3506 were headed up Ferguson Ave., on their way to Simcoe with 30 cars. The 88's tender picked a point, flipping the loco on its side, injuring two crewmen.



As a child, I was among the gawkers viewing the aftermath.
