Comments on: In what is a classic Windsor shot, Essex Terminal units #105 & #104 roll over the cut of the former Canada Southern, now Canadian Pacific, that leads to the Windsor/Detroit Railway tunnel. Sadly no train was coming out of the tunnel today to get the over/under but this location still makes for a great shot. Too bad the ‘Taggers’ couldn’t leave the bridge alone though…..

Bridge gets tagged even with all those cameras on every pole and no one see’s a thing. Put a Nikon around your neck and stand near the bridge and they’ll call out the National Guard.

I believe 105 is painted in a scheme designed to look like the ETR’s early diesels and 104 is designed in a “retro remake” paint scheme to give a new design for the railway’s old colours.

Geoff, a very, very nice picture in what is for me taken at a historical location. Decades ago, my Dad took a brief 8mm Kodachrome colour film of a pair of NYC electric motors heading for the tunnel. The location looks much the same but no “tagging” on the bridge and the crossover track was complete. Great to see two GM switchers “head to tail” in their colourfull paint schemes. Some interesting differences in this picture, the different size tunnel portals, 105 with a 3-window cab and 104 with 2-window cab and of course 104 and 105’s different paint schemes, but both with green painted cabs. Question, is the left side tunnel track ever used ? Thanks for posting, John

From a distance the first unit looks like it’s painted in a CN heritage scheme. As for the taggers…what’s the point and effort of ‘GULP’?

Great image and so much history associated with that location…agree on the Taggers…Rolling stock and bridges alike all suffer.
