Roll past at Jackfish Bay

Caught these pictures as CNR 1337 exited the tunnel and rolled along the northern Lake Superior shore at Jackfish Bay.

Reefer in CNR's 1933 experimental aluminum paint. Was supposed to keep things cooler than the standard paint scheme - it didn't, and the paint only lasted about a year or so.

An older Athearn (?) steel sided caboose. The CNR tilted wafer on green leaf is circa WW2, so a bit of a mismatch with the rest of the train, but I liked the marker lights so picked it up from the LHS bargain table anyway...

Well...... ummm ....... ok ok ok i confess!!!!! i bought two 4-8-2's and a 2-8-0 for a n scale layout thats on the drawing board. There i said it

(Oh there's no going back now railroader9731...I predict a few more steam purchases in your future.)

Andrew - you're right. As a "diesel" guy, pictures like yours really make me consider getting heavily involved in steam. Each engine has such a different look...a quality modern diesel engines lack. I'm already a fan of the "Hudson's".
