A great film about the end of steam in Canada. Lots of great shots. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg9_TnwrCXw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg9_TnwrCXw</a><!-- m -->

Thanks for posting this film Charlie.I was born in 1947 so I remember seeing operating steam on the Canadian National Railway and was very fortunate to have accompanied my father who was a locomotive engineer down to Hamilton's Stuart St. yard for cab rides on the road's steam locomotives and first generation diesels.No wonder I love trains and became a model collector.The film clip showing E10A Mogul #90 brought back some unforgettable memories when I rode on her sister engine #91 with my father and brothers.My model of #91 is a favourite in my collection.

Seeing your models and those of DrWayne made me appreciate the film even more, and now I appreciate the models more too.
