Comments on: Oh, those were great days up at “The Jct” back in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Pity I do not remember the train number of that morning eastbound that so often had the big MLWs for power. This nice example features M-630s CP 4567, 4571 and SD40 5519. We had the feeling those diminutive SD40s would some day take over, but really didn’t want to think about it.

Morning eastbounds were 74, 50 & 52. 74 came off the Windsor Sub, usually called for 0001 in Windsor, so out of Quebec St about 0500. 50 was the east pickup built in the yard. It ran at 0600 most days. 52 was run btwn 1000 & noon, having arrived from Windsor as No 80. This looks like it could be 74, although 74 usually had a few Windsor-Toronto pigs behind the power.

But we all say that. I wish I had been there for the old “Script” paints………….

The days of my youth… I wish I had been a tad older to fully appreciate it!
