Brad- I seem to recall it was a “feet on top of bench backrest, underarms on top of fence, body at 45degree angle position.” Definitely not a comfortable one !

Kevin- If memory serves me correctly this was where OSR first began operations. They’re only unit at the time was #51 and the company grew from there.

Marcus- Thanks, I miss when you could see OSR, CN, and CP all in the same evening here.

My hood! Great shot Matt. How did you get that shot? I’ve climbed the sand boxes but still the fence would get in the way.

Cool! I had no idea OSR operated there and that the 378 was ex-SOO.
