Comments on: Ordered for 0700 out of Capreol, Ontario, I am the tail end brakeman on an Extra West, operating as train B813, on the morning of Sunday July 27, 1969. We are taking the siding at Ruel for a meet with train 304 lead by a very new SD40 5090. B813′s power was a pair of GP9s: 4251 and 4491. 304 had an all red caboose numbered 79237, the only one of that group I recall seeing that did not have a black cupola. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

I climbed that high signal a few times, replacing bulbs, inspecting searchlight mechanism and painting mast, housing and backgrounds. Great photo, brings back memories.
