Comments on: The former Essex Terminal #102, now on OSR, is out for what I believe is only its third run with it’s new owners, on a beautiful Friday afternoon. It is shown here crossing Putnam Rd heading down toward St. Thomas. The F unit is #1400 and there is only one car in tow. In the background you can see the Hwy 401 overpass.

Excellent! I need to get there and see this combo. Looks like you’re figuring out the filmless camera.

Railwayguy: Encouraging messages always appreciated. On this day a bunch of us were out around S.Ontario as “photo Day”; in which we roamed around looking for subjects to shoot as part of the CRHA (Can Railroad Historical Association-Niagara Chapter) activity and such images of the day will be presented as part of a virtual group meeting later this month. One has to improvise considering we cannot get together in person at our meeting room in St. Catharines due to the pandemic. So one of the executive will put all our photos together as an on-line presentation. Other subjects I hear will be of CP and CN trains as far as some historical subjects (old stations, etc) It sure was a beautiful day to be out!!

Still have that special touch Mr. Mooney, well done. Little things make a great picture, like the gold striping on the 1400 just about matching the deep yellow on ex-ET 102, the little cloud of dust under 1400 as they rattled over the level crossing showing they certainly weren’t standing still, and good lighting and angle. Thank you,
thank you !
