    Nice capture John. Brings back memories of working with CN in Oba in the mid-70′s.

    Thanks for your comments. Was very intrigued with the head end “square”ex-hospital cars. Travelled from Kapuskasing (by bus) to Oba, stayed there overnight, rode all the way to the SOO, then CPR RDC to Sudbury & overnight to Toronto. Had to be back for start of university lectures.
