Comments on: I find myself getting emotional looking back at these old slides, which I’ve pulled out every Photoshop trick I can think of to try and make them presentable. This reminds me a little of the model that used to be at the Ontario Science Centre. 3 SD40-2s are westbound in the Fraser Canyon, looking like less than a toy. In my head, I can still imagine Onderdonk et al blasting their way through the impossibilities of building a railroad through here in the 1880s. No roads, no electricity…just dynamite and will. Sure, those who ran the 4-4-0′s of the day couldn’t imagine 9000hp pulling a mile of containers, any more than I could envision 12000-foot stack trains with three units clogging up the railroad as they do today. Then, as today, it’s an incredible sight, and a tribute to engineering and determination. But it was a lot more “human” then….the one really sad change. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
