Railpictures.ca - Paul O'Shell Photo: Not long for this world, ex-Penn Central 150 ton wrecking crane CR 50125 has been moved from its former home on the CASO in St. Thomas, ON to the CN Reclamation Yard in London, ON. This former facility on the outskirts of London was one of several such plants on CN’s system where ‘D-453′ tagged rolling stock, wrecks, and other no longer needed equipment was sent to be ‘permanently’ removed from service. Coulda, shoulda, woulda. Oh how I wish I had taken more and better photos back when this yard was still active. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Thanks Rob. I am glad to be able to share some of my photos with others. I only wish I had a better camera and took more and different photos back in the late 60′s through the late 80′s. During my tenure at CN, and now as a MOW equipment supplier, my unrestricted access to railways across Canada has allowed me to get a lot unique shots. Unfortunately, many of them won’t make it to the site due to poor quality, lighting or content. Enjoy.

The date on this photo should read April 16, 1991 and not April 1976. P.
