The fireman aboard CNR 6167 pours on the coal as 6167 charges eastbound on the Campbellford Sub out of Lindsay on a Toronto-Lindsay-Belleville UCRS trip.  In just over three months, 6167 will make her last run on September 27, 1964.  Donated to the City of Guelph in September, 1967, the locomotive sat on display for many years at the East end of Carden Street at the end of the CN/VIA Rail station platform.  Various groups have maintained the locomotive with great care over the years, most recently the major cosmetic restoration completed by the 6167 restoration Committee, of which Bruce was a member.  June 15 and 16, 2010 saw 6167 moved to the south side of the Guelph Sub, and placed closer to the 1911 GTR station.  After spending the last decade at this location, 6167 is on the move again to a more permanent site, almost 1/4 mile east near the River Run Centre alongside the Guelph Junction Railway line.  The move will be undertaken tomorrow; Saturday, November 14, 2020, and can be live streamed from the Guelph Museums Facebook Page beginning around 10:00am.  As noted in this article from Metrolinx, the locomotive is being moved to make way for GO Transit's south platform at Guelph Central Station.Thanks to Dave Spiegelman for help with the location.

  1. Wonderful shot of a wonderful locomotive and still a great candidate for restoration. Does anyone know the specific reason for her retirement in 1964? Was it merely tube time, or something more vital? I know she ran a few double-headers with 6218 prior to being stuffed and mounted.

  2. Geez. Like a calendar cover!! :o )

  3. You guessed it PRR, needed new tubes.

  4. The beautiful green cars of my youth.
