In response to Glenn Courtney's great photo Former VIA 6305, now OSR 6508 leads the westbound Woodstock turn with a healthy cut of mixed freight traffic out of Woodstock. Oh, and that sound - a pair of EMD 567's groaning in unison as the crew accelerates to 25 MPH track speed. For many of us, this is a real treat, and always a great show put on by the folks at Salford. Is this the golden age of shortlines for 'round here? Sure seems like it!

    CP did a great job marshalling that cut of cars for OSR! This photo looks just like the one in the November 2015 Railpace.
