Good chance that could be my late Grandfather in the hogger’s seat, the Engineer’s face is just barely visible…

Similar indeed. I would have been 9. Our family used to ride the train from Peterborough on occasional Saturday trips.

Mr. May and I may be of similar vintage. I would have been 11 years-old when this mage was taken. I regularly tried to watch the weekday Dayliner as it passed by my house each morning before I went to school at 8:30 AM. I lived halfway between Agincourt Yard and Union Station – the mainline of the CPR literally running against my backyard. I could see the Budd cars descending the hill for perhaps the better part of a mile. Your image, Mr. Farkas, brings back a flood of memories. Thank you for posting, Sir.

Looks like it is the Dayliner from Havelock. Not much going on in the background.
