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.

CART #55, GMD GP9, 1960
<br>
<br>
at Port Cartier, P. Q. , June 7 1981 Kodachrome by S. Danko
<br>
<br>
What's interesting:
<br>
<br>
Trackside Guide indicates CART #55 ( original #5 ) along with sisters #51, 53, 56 to Helm Leasing 1990 moved to Lamoille Valley Railroad for rebuilding, then to Goderich Exeter, then 55 & 56 to Ontario L'Original 1996, to Mid Michigan 2005 ( #56 to Michigan Southern #180 in 2008).

<br>
Per TG: in the background generator car (EMD 1959) QCM #898 appears to be in 'builder's livery' and is ex Buffalo RR.
<br>
<br>
And credit to 'mercer' for more: “ Power Generator car (PGC) model M-16 built by GMDiesel, London. It it representative of approx 44 such cars built at London for various private owners who needed a way to generate electrical output in remote locations ( either partime or full time/standby). The M-16 stood for ‘mobile’, 16 cylinders. Their serial numbers were different from locomotives, in this case, the [QCM # ] 898 was G1026 built 10/59. QCM also bought an 8 cylinder model in 1959 but I do not know it’s ” road number” [ per Trackside Cartier Railway owned three Electrical Generator's, the others: QCM #896 (ex G3 ) built 1964 and QCM #897 (ex G4) built 1940] .
<br>
<br>
Cartier Railway is now a private company: ArcelorMittal Infrastructure Canada G.P. (AMIC) owning the railroad and port facilities. [ refer to the website – quite the history ]
