Long cut of MoW gondolas makes a sort of 'different' perch for a shot of eastbound VIA 6761 on a rather gloomy damp day at Dundas. The B unit is 6865.

  1. Great photo as always Arnold—thanks for sharing

  2. I’m surprised there isn’t a hand out the window waving hi to the guy taking pictures in the gons. ;-)

  3. The conductor was laughing too hard. All joking aside, this shot just proves you don’t need perfect sun for an interesting photo.

  4. Rob, agreed 100%. This ‘sunny day only rule’ is just bollox.

    So i’m curious, what is this structure that once was where you are standing?

  5. I’m standing in the bed of a drop end gon, a long string of them; on the back track at old Dundas Station, which is just out of sight behind the train. Wouldn’t do that these days. :o )

  6. Ahhhh! thanks :)

  7. Interesting view of the train.

  8. Arnold, the tire tread marks on the residual material in the car and on the between-car apron tell me there should be a Pettibone Dragger-back Speedloader somewhere in that drop-end gon consist. Any chance you snapped a photo of it?

  9. No, Paul. Thats the funny thing. I do not even recall seeing one.
