Comments on: What a dismal dark day to be watching trains in Parry Sound. But, I’m there. Have to make the best of it. Even getting a decent setting with a film camera was difficult, which is obvious against this dark building. Its been almost 40 years since this image and I have forgotten the name of the feller passing up the orders as this northbound train roars by. Interesting old time scene.

Rain or not, still a great capture Arnold. A ‘bygone’ era….no more operator, no more yellow Vans so iconic with CPs colorful freight rolling stock….those were great memories of my childhood.
