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.

AMrail #6506
<br>
<br>

<br>

May 17, 1987 Kodachrome by S.Danko
<br>
<br>
what's interesting
<br>
<br>
lower Don Yard is now part of Toronto Waterfront Revitalize Corporation ' West Don Lands Precinct Plan' and today remnants of any railway use is gone....near this site in the early 1980's on the way home I would stop and watch the CPR daily local job's MLW S-3 ( 6500 series ) kicking box cars through the crossing to the loading docks parallel to Front Street (south side), east of Cherry Street.
<br>
<br>
and per AWM and SCH:
<br>
<br>
Some of these F unit's were part of the regular Nanicoke power
<br>
<br>
[Currently – autumn 2020 ] CN 9177 down on the Shenandoah Valley Railroad in Staunton, VA as of January 2020. Stored
<br>
<br>
[ and in 2020, ex CN9177 is located at ] Cresson Steel in PA waiting for a buyer… SOU 9177 is current reporting marks.. (was to be rebuilt by NS, not happening now)
