After dropping off a string of cars in the west siding at Blandford, OSR 1620 heads west up the Galt sub main track at mile 60 on its return trip back to the St Thomas sub. Built in 1957, the GP9u is still going strong some 68 years later.

    Great scene, Bill. OSR didn’t quite get to Blandford, but did drop those cars in West Coakley.
