Comments on: It is a rather hot July 1st, and CN 7166 is about to cross over the canal via Bridge 20, to fetch a few loads. The Sidekick has just grabbed a shot of the unit passing CN Port Colborne station so we’ve got this move covered. (she earned her keep) Bridge 20 was removed 20 years later, and the track was realigned curving north thru the pavement on the right, running now up the west side of the canal.

@railwayguy: The ‘Sidekick’ is Laurel, and she currently is a doc’s assistant in Niagara Falls. We still keep in touch after 40+ years. Ah, the carefree days of youth. Sigh………

Very interesting Albert, and most informative posted comments. I see there is no sign of the NS&T track that used to end just to the left of the CN 7166 and a few feet west of the Sidekick. That’s where the NS&T interurban car from Thorold would change ends in preparation to its northbound run back to Thorold. Very nice looking “sidekick” . Does she have a name ? Thanks for sharing.

Confirming that INCO, Canadian Furnace, and Canada Cement all had GE centre cab switchers in town, I will post a shot taken in the late 80′s of the GE 50 Ton unit in INCO YELLOW..

Thanks. There was INCO, Algoma and Canadian Steel (or something like that)around there at one time or another. Maybe more.
