Railpictures.ca - A.W. Mooney Photo: In order to capture this image I had to skedaddle out of the house early in order to be trackside in Richmond Hill at 0700 so I wouldn’t miss this train. Sometimes it was CN power, sometimes ONR. I was lucky this day. Not only was the weather decent, so of course was the train with its eclectic variety of coaches behind ONT 1509 and 1520. The way Toronto traffic is these days, I’d not attempt anything around the GTA any more. :o) Not even on a Sunday, which was the case here. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Spectacular image ! That mid-70’s creampuff really adds to the scene. Looks like it might’ve been a Pontiac Parisienne.
