Comments on: Posed outside of the train shed on a sunny day, CN Northern 6167 is ready to leave Toronto’s Union Station east for Belleville, on a Toronto-Picton UCRS fantrip on August 26th 1962. Canadian Pacific’s Royal York Hotel can be seen in the background, directly across the street from Union Station downtown.

Great pictures Bill. I missed this UCRS excursion but fortunate enough to be involved with UCRS Trip Committee and riding on other excursions behind 6167.
Go back a few years earlier, and this could be 2nd Section of CN’s #14 for Montreal. Thank you for sharing this picture and the others on the line to Picton.

And who will pay for it? It’s owned by the City of Guelph – was moved in 2010 to the North GO platform at the station, and rumours are it may be moved yet again.

This locomotive should be reconsidered for shopping and operation.

A Classic Union Station shot with the Royal York Hotel in the background and both CN and CP equipment.
This being a fantrip must have been one of the last chances to get such a picture. Once again Bill; well done and thank you.
