Comments on: Late April, the leaves are just beginning; and I am up on the hillside enjoying the day. It is mid-afternoon by the looks of it, and in this pre-VIA image, CN 6530 and 6527 take a westbound passenger towards Copetown Hill and London. There are various cars on the stub track behind the loco, as well as an old wooden CN caboose, partly visible on the extreme left. Adds a bit of “age” to the photo.

Just looking over this photo tonight and I guess I should have mentioned there is NO walkbridge in the background. Everyone takes for granted it has been there forever.

I also like this version of the F-unit cab with black around the windows. Thanks for posting this.

No. I had written 6527 in my notes from way back but obviously that is wrong.

No. It was just a stub by this time, open on the east end. Maintenance equipment occupied the track, the caboose probably part of such.

Curious, what the caboose was for? were there pushers stationed there at the time?
