So here’s something that makes me hurt and smile… This photo was captured by a 17 year old kid named Jason in February of 1996. (He still doesn’t have a flickr or Instagram account.) He used his mother’s mid 80s Chevette to drag himself, his two friends, and a whack of flash sync gear from St. Catherines to St. Thomas, Ontario. The occasion? The last CSX freight from St. Thomas to Buffalo on the old CASO Subdivision. Pictured here is the final crew about to take this train to Buffalo. Oddly, nobody else was there to capture this farewell journey. It took a 17 year old boy, armed with a Minolta X-700, Kodak 400 color negative film, a borrowed car, and a ton of determination to record this historic event. Although there may have been other movements on this line afterwards, this was the final CSX revenue freight from St. Thomas to Buffalo and return. Never forget what they took from us.
