Comments on: By the late 1950′s it was clear that Steam’s days were numbered, and Interurbans were almost non-existent. The combination of the two may have been Roger Bloomquist’s inspiration to travel from Indiana to Port Colborne to capture Mikado 3422 and NS&T 83 in this idyllic scene. The building in behind is the local CTC (Canadian Tire) downtown location that was on site until the mid-80′s. The view is looking west, 3422 is traveling east bound on the Dunnville Sub, likely on the afternoon scheduled Stratford – Fort Erie run. The NS&T has less than 2 years of Thorold to Port Colborne service left. TH&B GP-7′s were active here at that time… imagine a photo with a Maroon & Cream Diesel and you would have the Trifecta ! Thanks to Steve H for help here.

Very nice indeed ! NS&T 83 must have just arrived from Thorold as the motorman has not changed the trolley pole for the northbound run. Many pictures of the NS&T taken here are looking east – this picture looking west nicely shows the narrow NS&T platform and literally the end of track. Thank you for posting,

Great image. Both those units would have been great rides.
