Comments on: CP Budds 9250 and 9024, tri-weekly #185, seen here at a station stop in Chapleau on their run from Sudbury to White River in this pre-VIA image. The train has just left the Nemegos Sub and is about to enter the White River Subdivision to the town of same name 130 miles down the line.

Glad you like this one.
No, I did not ride it on this particular trip but was rather wandering the North hoping to see something on a whim.
Carefree wandering trips are often the best, even if I do not see as much as when ‘planned’.

Mr. Mooney, great picture, and nice to see Northern Ontario rail activity. Were you travelling on this train, hopping off for a quick shot during the passenger stop ? Have yet to travel on the White River RDC run, but was through here on the Dominion, the CPR Canadian and the VIA variety (before VIA switched to CN through Northern Ontario ). Thanks for sharing.

VERY observant, Mr. Vincent!!! You are indeed correct and I deserve a whipping with an exposed film strip. I had it all backward. I knew it was Sudbury-bound, but for some reason was reading my old TT backward.

Excellent scene in this photo, but it looks like your train is actually 186, eastbound towards Sudbury, just having traversed the White River Sub and about to enter the Nemegos. For comparison’s sake I’ve just uploaded a photo from the same location in 2013.

As of 2010 both buildings captured here were still standing. The one in question still has the “Chapleau” lettering on it too!

I like this shot Mr. Mooney; is that station building still standing? It is a good example of what was built in the 1950′s.
