Comments on: Beautiful cool Thursday morning in June. I was out early because the sun was as well. No doubt this area is now socked in tight with endless cookie-cutter houses, but back in 1991 a view looking north from Derry Rd in Milton was a pleasant country setting. A rather nice #385 rolls south, with CN 2117, 2322, 7267, 260(slug) and 1324. In regards to the leader, there were but 20 of these BBD HR616 units on the CN roster; arriving in 1982, and proved not to be up to snuff……all were gone by 1998. This particular unit was sold off to National Railway Equipment. So much for Bombardier. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

The HR616's were one of my favorites back then. Glad I got to see at least a few years of them operating before they were all retired. Nice shot and view of the entire consist Arnold.
