Comments on: How it used to be, dept: I’m at First Line Nassagaweya west of Guelph Jct. This is back in the days before “No Parking” signs and other hindrances and we could just sit back and enjoy the action. This view shows CP 6043, 5533 and 4734 about to head west once the eastbound CP 5645, SOO 6450 and 6606 clears. The lads share a greeting. Note the SOO 6450 is a “B” unit; the only one on the roster. It was retired in Oct of 1993. The 6606 was retired in 2012 and converted to one of those ECO units, number 5019. Of the CPs, only 6043 remains on their roster. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

The SOO B-unit was retired in 2002. I was fortunate to see it a few times when it ventured into the area. Really nice meet shot Arnold.
