My university years were spent in the City of Brantford which meant I was afforded frequent opportunities to photograph the Burford Spur. CN operated the line when I first started my BA/BeD program, it would change hands to the SOR and ultimately a track maintenance company and a trackmobile...I haven't photographed it since the last SOR train. Pictured is a lovely October day with CN 4112 heading down Clarence Street on their way to Ingenia.

A gloomy February day in 1966 finds TTC PCC 4601 (an ex-Cincinnati A10-class car) operating on a Kingston Road run, heading westbound on Queen Street crossing University Avenue. Visible in the background is Osgoode Hall (dating from 1832) juxtaposed with a more modern piece of architecture: the new iconic Toronto City Hall, that officially opened just a few months earlier in September 1965.<br><br><i>John F.

CN people are working with crane CN 50000 to get MLW RSC-14 CN 1784 back on track after a derailment in Halifax.<br><br>
The RSC-14's were RS-18's re-trucked by CN to spread their weight across six axles, for branch lines with light rail in the Maritime provinces. <br>
The A1A trucks were taken from retired RSC-13's and RSC-24's which previously served that assignment. <br>
RSC-14's were derated from RS18 original 1800 HP to 1400 HP, probably the safe limit for the A1A traction motors.<br><br>
Location within Halifax is unstated, mapped to vicinity of Fairview.

TTC H4 5594 (relatively new at the time, built by Hawker Siddeley Canada in 1974/75) leads a mixed train of H4's and four older H-series cars northbound out of Davisville Subway Station on the Yonge subway line, bound for Finch. An old Gloucester "G" train is sitting on platform 3, possibly waiting to enter service for PM rush hours, and a TTC bus (likely a GM fishbowl) is visible laying over in the bus bays of Davisville station. The lead car 5594 upon its retirement was converted into work car RT-64, and appears to still be on the roster. <br><br> Another interesting thing is the "Identra Coil" placed on the top corner of the lead car (sort of like an extra flag would be on a locomotive). Those were used to activate the Next Train sign boxes mounted on the ceiling at station platforms that would display the correct end destination or routing of an arriving train for passengers on the platform (if the train would be short turning, it would show the last station stop for example). One may still be able to find a few of those old sign boxes in place around the system, although by now long out of use. <br><br> <i> J. Bryce Lee photo, Dan Dell'Unto collection slide.</i>

GMTX 335 and CANAC 1330 are 2 of 3 units sitting out front of the AltaSteel Mill. It was very tempting to pass through the open gate and get all 3 units in one photo. Best not to trespass and there is a large tree immediately in front of the 7402, which will have presented a photo angle problem. The SW1500 335 certainly appears to be a sister unit to the 333 that is photo'd in southern Ontario occasionally. There is no mistaking the heritage of the CANAC engine. It is still wearing the 1330 unit number assigned by CN. The most obvious change is the removal of the spark arrestors.

ES44AH CSXT 3226 brings up the rear of a southbound CP grain train nearing the end of it's trip on the Lanigan sub. If you really squint, you can see the exhaust from the 9802 on the head end, about 130 cars away.

Coupled behind Loco #2, #1 sees the light of day for the first time in many a year. Looking rather naked without her saddle tank (barely visible sitting beside the tracks on the far side of #2), she has been hauled out of the dark depths of the train shed to have pictures taken to aid in the making of technical drawings, part of the long and painful process of getting her certified to return to active duty.

Lazily plowed streets and crunchy snow underfoot, a nippy December afternoon at Dundas West Subway Station finds TTC PCC 4742 (one of 48 "A-13" class cars acquired secondhand from Birmingham, Alabama in 1952) operating on the King route heading back east across town to Broadview subway station, having just departed the station onto Edna Ave. Following behind is a 43/4400-series PCC operating a Dundas car to <a href=http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=30851><b>City Hall loop</b></a>. Still at the station, a relatively newer Flyer E700 trolleybus on the 40 Junction route waits to depart for Runnymede Loop south of the CPR yards in The Junction. The vehicles have changed and the trolleybuses have been replaced by diesel buses, but much of this scene remains the same 45 years later.<br><br><i>Original photographer unknown, Kodachrome from the Dan Dell'Unto collection (with restoration/colour touch-up work).</i>
