This shot is kinda bitter - sweet for me. After catching OSR working the south spur a few times I thought I'd get ahead of them leaving town and catch them at John Galt park adjacent to the River Run Centre. When I got there I linen up my shot and I thought "Well I probably have time, let's go check out the GHRA caboose", which I believe is stored just around the corner behind the River Run Centre. So I started walking and then I saw the lights coming around the bend. A few choice works came to mind which I cannot share, then I went back as far as I could and took the above shot. To add insult to injury the sun came out just as the cab of 8235 was about to exit the shadow of an apartment building. What would have added significantly to the shot I had planned, went to emphasised that I was on the dark side of the train. Well, the way I choose see it, any day with OSR is a good day. I'm sure pretty much everybody has been in a similar scenario at least once! Hope you enjoy! Mark

  1. No caboose there. We go on display down there (Usually right where the engines are, or down by the old siding switch north of the river run) every once in a while when an event happens downtown…
