+1 for the Taurus.
581 would be en route to Hensall on the Exeter Sub here Stephen, Seaforth is on the Goderich Sub.
It’s also always been the Exeter Sub….
Great shot though….
And a Huron and Eastern unit! Nice one Steve.
Oops, i’ll fix that I was tired when I wrote it.
Stephen, always loved trains crossing over old railway bridges ! What a nice picture, wonder how many “single lane” railway overpasses in “active service” are left in southern Ontario ? And the pumpkin orange 3510 with its colourful yellow pilot lights up the picture beautifully. Now as for the “fast paced” 10mph, that’s nothing compared to the old CNR belt line from Fairbanks Jct to Yonge St speed of 5 mph ! If your dog got scared by the waddling 0-8-0, it could out run it going in the same direction. At least this branch line is still in service, no matter what the speed limit. Thank you for posting, John. PS, what is the dog’s name ?
5 MPH.. my goodness.. why so slow? I’ve seen photos of the Belt Line in the diesel era… same line right?
Her name is Star. She’s a girl. I’m vastly outnumbered in my house. 4 girls one guy. I need a boy dog!!!
Sounds more like YOU are doomed to a doghouse, Mr. Host.
Woof
Next victim. Lol.
Nice image! Considering the location of the GEXR the Huron & Eastern name works here as well.
Stephen, yes it is the same line, CN yard switchers stationed at Spadina took over when steam ended, but speed didn’t change. Like the name Star, and you are noy the only one outnumbered in your household, Sandy (wife) and Candy (small dog) run my life -grin and bear it, John
BTW folks, this unit, 3510 was transferred to the Guelph Junction Railway. Seems it’s tenure on GEXR Goderich was very short.
