    A cat with C&O units, about a year before Chessie paint would first appear.

    Would that be Ottawa St in the background? I don’t know what the large green building is though, a long gone Dofasco building?

    Also looks like Dofasco bought many of those residential properties behind the locomotive and built something there (now a parking lot and home of the Dofasco Fire Dept)

    That cat in the foreground is probably tying to chase away the pair of Chessie cats invading his turn.

    Seemed too ironic not mention haha, this is a great shot. That great big steel plant makes this very recognizable.
