I must been caught off guard with this train, as I see my car is parked in 'live lane' on the left in this photo. (jump out and run) VIA 6516 and 6628 were probably not wasting any time either heading north over Isabella St., last crossing in the core area of the town. For me this brings back, 40 years ago, great memories of being out on the hunt.

    Stand well back when the passenger train goes by as someone might step on a flush pedal!! :-)
    Congrats on No. 2400

    Oh, gawd!!! I forgot about the flush pedal!!! I hope that still wasn’t in effect in 1986.
    I certainly remember that around Bayview in the 70s though. You just had to remind me, didn’t you!!?
    And thanks for the 2400 note. Maybe I might make it to 2500. Seems distant.

    Oh but thank you, Sir. For me, it took a bit of doing.
