Comments on: It might have been one miserable dull late afternoon, but the sighting of a 4 unit TH&B Starlite certainly brightened the day up for me. Due to work, I was not getting out to the Junction as often as I would have liked. This capture of TH&B 76, 75, 401 and 72 has been a favourite of mine. And no one else was around at Bayview to enjoy it. Sad that it has been 30 years since we witnessed TH&B painted locomotives making the rounds.

Another great shot Mr. Mooney. Have a couple of those locomotives in HO scale that I get out for my dad to enjoy on my layout. That and these pictures are as close as I get to enjoy that time period of railroading. Thank you!

Starlite was usually rather healthy by the standards of the day. Anything and everything could be in consist, but I do imagine most of it would head Stateside on the nocturnal that left Abderdeen daily. There were truck trailer unloading facilities at Chatham St as I remember. Not sure when they were last used. Typical car count on the Starlite around the late 70s/early 80s, going by my notes, was 45-60.

Nice train. How many cars would there typically be? Would most have been forwarded on to Conrail through Niagara Falls?
