I don't know the year, late 1960s, we were on so many of the CN 6218 excursions. Location is obvious to many, going over the Burlington Canal Left Bridge for a runpass when the Beach Sub. was still intact...and had a reasonable speed limit, judging by the slight blur of the engine marker. I think the shadow was caused by the locomotive exhaust.

    This is incredible, I’ve gone over this bridge thousands of times and never knew there was a line that went over it! Amazing..

    Beautiful locomotive. What’s not to like?

    Having found a log of UCRS steam excursions below, I think this was Sept. 25, 1966.

    Thanks, Dave Sherlock for the link. Your post didn’t work but I was able to Google it and find the document.

    There’s a bracket at the beginning of the link which shouldn’t be there.

    I fixed the link. There was much more than a bracket that could be removed. It’s much shorter now. It’s a link to a UCRS fantrip newsletter – very worth a read.

    Dave and gang – the UCRS Hamilton Chapter still meets on the fourth Friday of the month at the People’s Church in Hamilton at 7:30 PM. There should be another meeting in June then a summer break.
