Comments on: “2 cars Starlight”….”1 car Starlight”…..”ease er up Starlight” . CP’s Starlight – the 70′s Toronto – Hamilton turn periodically lifted CP 520XXX series 89′ container flats at Obico. I have no idea where they were destined…there was no container on/off facility on the TH&B…but engineer Smokey Anderson – hand on the throttle…stoagie in the other hand…carefully makes the joint. In a few minutes….the train will call the CN for permission to proceed down to Canpa for the short run to Hamilton.

Frank used to tell us TH&B (Toronto Hamilton Buffalo) really stood for To Hell and Back.

Thanks Steve…I think the cigar in the one hand adds a dimension of the reality of what is was like.

A well done portrait of the man at work. Nicely done.
