About sdfourty
Best hobby in the world ! A photographer friend recommended the Nikon brand, bought my first used Nikon in 1976 and continue to use that Nikon body regularly. Best ever train ride: Extra 6060 west, a seven car train, Ottawa to Toronto via the (now lifted) Smiths Falls subdivision (mostly at 25 mph) then onto the Kingston sub, west of Napanee the engineer let 6060 really run: at 80+ mph 6060 sounded like the Turbo ! Then a brief stop at Port Hope demonstrated that the 'grape vine' really worked (who needs "social media" ! ) : the whole town showed up! sdfourty.

![VIA CN #66 is Turbo equipped today.
<br>
<br>
1977: 335 miles, two scheduled stops, 4 hours 10 minutes downtown to downtown: average speed 80.3 m.p.h.
<br> ( anyone have a timetable that shows a faster schedule ? ).
<br>
<br>
35 years after: will Turbo - Via CN #66 & #67 - ever be matched? Exceeded?
<br>
<br>
By 1980: Turbo was slowed to 4 hours 30 minutes with three scheduled stops.
<br>
<br>
By 1982: Turbo gone.
<br>
<br>
Turbo jets through Scarborough Junction on a 1977 summer day.
<br>
<br>
[ What's interesting: 1) that 80+ m.p.h. average speed is (primarily) on jointed rail ! ]
<br>
[ 2) ONCE, just once - due to freight derailment - on a Sunday evening, witnessed Turbo at CP Leaside on the Belleville sub ! (pix anyone?) ]

![Departing Agincourt, TH&B 77 - 73 - 75 - 401 - CP Rail 8742 team up on CP Rail Extra TH&B 77 west.
(Q: Could this the Kinnear? (the Starlight's counterpart ? )).
TH&B became a wholly owned CP Rail subsidiary in 1977 when Conrail sold their shares to C P Limited (CP Rail), Conrail originally acquired part ownership with the Penn Central bankruptcy. CP allowed TH&B operations to remain independent for some time.
