Very nice composition capturing the station activity. The plaid polyester pants are a classic !
Outstanding capture John!
What a great photo! Many interesting small details that combine to make such a great photo, it almost looks staged. I like how it looks like Mom has stepped away to have a word with her teenage son, and Grandma is looking back to see how it’s going!
This shot would make a great candidate for a time machine photo.
The “bunkhouse” for the Capreol passenger crews was in behind the Canadian National ticket booth. Spent many days there during the summer of 1968 as I worked the Panorama trains 105 and 106.
Excellent shot, John. Nice to step back and take in all the activity.
I dont think I’ve ever seen an era captured, both railway and ‘socially’….the 70s. Mind you I came into the world only 5 months later. BUT….VIA hadn’t been introduced yet. CN engines painted in the passenger scheme, that set them apart from their regular freight road haulers. The new Ottawa Union Station…only what? 10 year old structure, the first and only of this architectural design?
Crazy.
