About First954
I was born and raised in Capreol, Ontario. I worked for CN in the Area Engineering Office during the summers of 1965 and 1966. During the summers of 1967-1969, I worked as a brakeman out of Capreol. In the fall of 1969, I transferred to the Great Lakes Regional offices in Toronto. I left CN in 1975 to join the transportation department of Ontario Hydro. I moved to the USA in 1989. I am still an active photographer.

![A pair of oldies lead a CN freight south out of Capreol, Ontario on July 13th, 2015. 2028 was built for the C&NW in March 1989 as their 8529. It later became UP 9051. The trailing unit is 2423 which was built for CN in March 1990.
It is interesting to note the train order board located within the museum's grounds. CN made the museum remove the blades as it might confuse train crews.
Train number 314 is a guess.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/CN-2028-2423-Capreol-ON-July-13-2015-Don-Jaworski-200x150.jpg)

![The Canadian Pacific yard crew is busy getting ready for the arrival of the Eastbound Canadian. Cars have to be pulled from the storage tracks on the east end of the station, sorted, and staged. The new CPRail paint is almost complete, but a few cars still exist in the older version. A lot has changed since this photo was taken, for example, the west half of the station is gone, as are the brick chimney, water tank, and storage tracks. And the view now blocked by the Paris Street bridge.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/CP-Sudbury-July-12-1969-Don-Jaworski-200x150.jpg)

![In a scene that is played out hundreds of times every day (even today), but not often recorded, the engine crew has brought CN train 105, the Panorama, into their away from home terminal of Foleyet, Ontario and are headed to the bunkhouse. My father, on the left, was the engineer. The train is stopped with the coaches at the station, but with 8 head-end cars this day, the engines are near the west end of the platform. Three units were the standard power for this train, but on this date, it had 4, three GMs and 1 MLW.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/CN-Foleyet-October-1968-Don-Jaworski-200x150.jpg)
