Hello Marty---what a wonderful picture.Thanks for posting the photograph and the story about your memories of your boyhood adventures with your father.Like yourself,my father would often take his 3 sons with him down to the yard.Together with my brothers Jim and Dan,I can fondly remember riding on both steam and diesel locomotives including the E-10 Moguls,O-18 Class 0-6-0 switchers and GP-9's.I'll always remember those days,but one that stands out the most was a day long run to Port Dover and return on E-10-A Mogul ( 2-6-0) #91.
I have a photo from the "Paterson-George Collection" showing a couple of the E-10 moguls heading south towards Hagersville in the early 50's---the crewman leaning out of the lead locomotive is my father
