Ah yes, the Starlight, my favourite except that it was almost always late or dull and the best film at the time was Kodachrome 64 so rarely enough light.

Brad – I lived in that area as well…hung out there from about 1972 to 1976….the Starlight and 552 were “the” freights in those days.

Great! Me too. I rail fanned this spot many a time having lived up the street. Happy to know they are preserving and renovating the old buildings behind you there!
