Comments on: For those with young kids or for those over 30.. as the Count from Sesame Street would say – One… Two.. Three! Three F-Units! A-ha-ha-ha-ha. Three FP9A’s make up today’s Woodstock turn, as they make a lift of some loaded multis for Gen-Auto. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

As for Sesame Street, my kids’ kids now have long moved to computers, but I went back to it to watch CNN’s Covid-19 Sat programs with Big Bird and friends. As for A units, B units too, and all the letters of the alphabet used to designate various classes of steam locomotives on different railways, I am very glad I learned and still know the alphabet. Now, I wonder what the Count say about GG-1 ?

I just gave my 10 year old a laptop a couple weeks ago and she's already proficient at typing... how??? The 3 F-units were an amazing thing, happened a few times in 2015... really hasn't happened since though. Gonna be interesting if they can do it again.. never say never.. 2020 has been full of surprises! I'd love to say I shot 6508 in green and gold leading much, but I did not. Just a couple times. Would love to see a CN executive set in that colour...

And yes, just like A units, Sesame St was big in my life, watching many, many programs with 4 kids, and out trying to photograph many A units, here & there (favourite colour scheme for me - AT&SF ). But sure like 1401’s colour scheme and the colour on the 2nd A unit even more, A-ha-ha-ha, CNR green, black & gold ! Now excuse me, Sesame St is about to start ! A-ha-ha-ha !!!

I blame too many kids programs over the last 7 years. Of interest, this may be a photo of 1400 in the 70's :) http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=14794#comments Thank you for the gold.

I think you were out in the cold too long. Nice shot. They need logos. I’ll give you a gold star… but not for the caption. I think you were out in the cold too long. Nice shot. They need logos.
