Comments on: So the story on this shot is I was down by the Tunnel with my camera and some of the M of W guys were working just inside the West Tube. I think I asked if I could come down and have a look (I would have been 17 at the time) and my request was granted. Some of them knew me from hanging around the depot. While in there CP-1 was lined thru the East Tube and I took this shot using the old Zenit-E and totally blew the exposure. (This is actually a K-64 colour slide) and the slide was consigned to the “Podunk” shoebox. Years later I found and scanned the slide and could never get the colour right so turned it into a B&W. Again I’m pushing the limits of the Canada in Railpictures.ca and this is a shot which would probably get you a room at the crowbar hotel these days.

Rather remarkable shot even for those days.

I’m glad you kept that old badly exposed slide!

I wish it was still that easy to ask for, and be granted, access onto railroad property for photos.
