Neat times. And the chase was a lot of fun.
Note the water tanker and the two “M’Ued” B units were cut off from the consist while 2860 was on display.

That’s a great shot! I remember my father taking us there to watch them service the locomotive. The pedestrian bridge in the background was purchased by Webers burgers on highway 11 when the convention centre was built…

This is on the CN low level tracks west of Toronto Union Station, next to the John Street interlocking tower (shown just on the right). The orange bridge behind is the CN Tower pedestrian bridge over the TTR rail corridor.

I believe that track may have originally led into the CN Express building to the west of Union.
