Beautiful fall afternoon to spend driving Hwy 2 parallel the CP line in hopes of catching a decent looking train or two. Leasers were "the thing" back then, so it was nice to see a colourful eastbound just outside of Thamesford, with SOO 6062 leading a DME and HLCX. About a year later the SOO SD60M would be renumbered to 6262.

    Interesting composition, Arnold. I love the rural aspect, farm inclusion and fall mix of colours. Top shelf!

    Thanks, Glenn. I liked this shot when I first saw the results; but have to admit the film camera just did not give the required results when shooting broadside. And it was set at 500th!!

    Nice one Arnold! This is another one of these shots where the scenery could be remindful of a model railway, i love it!
