Comments on: Not the sort of scene a Climate Buff would care to see, but this display of MLW smoke as a treat for us fans on the hillside overlooking The Junction. VIA #75 is westbound, the time is 1810Hrs and it is a very warm and humid eve. THAT I remember. VIA 6761 leads, trailing 6871 smokes. Perhaps it still smokes, as the offending unit now toils for the Grand Canyon Railway as their 6871 !! I count 9 coaches on a rather short train in this image, another of a series I had taken 40 VIA years ago. August 23rd was a Wednesday………… http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

I know not why, I just know that is the time I jotted down in my notebook. And usually I only made note of the time when it was abnormal. It was very late that day.

If you shot it at 18:10 it was quite late that day. In 1996 it was due into London at 18:24. It wouldn't get from Bayview to London in 14 minutes. Was it late or have the schedules changed over the years? Train 75, in my 1996 Trackside Guide, was named the ERIE. If you shot it at 18:10 it was quite late that day.
