Let's go for a long weekend camp at Agawa Bay. Such was the plan. Go north, dip my feet in Superior once again, and forget southern Ontario even exists. All while basking in the gorgeous weekend weather we were provided. I needed a new pair of shoes to go hiking with the kids, and, since Wawa sported not only a Tim Hortons, but a shoe store as well, the van was loaded, and further north we went. Upton arrival, I noted the sign for Hawk Junction, checked maps, and discovered that it's just up the road. Going there? You betcha! Presented is the station as of July 30, 2016. Still standing, watching over a yard that sees use, but nothing that resembles the early days. Recanting facts provided by Mr. Mooney himself, how the line into the hills was the old line to the docks at Michipicoten, which saw use by the Wisconsin Central hauling products from the long gone sinter plant to waiting boats in the harbour. We heard a southbound hollering for something around midnight the previous night, presumably a moose or bear on the tracks. The only indication of trains passing through. PS. Last one to leave the Hawk turns out the lights. ;)

6508 preens in the evening sun outside the shops in Salford, Ontario. The star of the OSR can be found working the Cami local between Ingersoll and Woodstock daily. Seeing Mr. Wilsie running her himself on the weekend, and the smile across his face, is a sure fire sign that the old girl has a bright future ahead of her. She's still rough around the edges, but with her California exhaust and old school charm, she's sure to be a favourite wherever she goes. Thanks to all the gang at the OSR for getting her running again, this is the first and only F unit I have ever seen running, and especially Mr. Wilsie for keeping it old school. Now my son knows what F units and Alcos are. :)
