I wish I was still living in the area to have captured your moment! Congratulations to you 'engineered4u'..hope to see you down Chatham way sometime...VIA or not ;) Mr. Roach...you have captured a great photo. Cherish it - cause in today's world of technology you don't normally pickup any news of an engineer's last run (I'm without a scanner myself)...:) Phil…wasn’t long ago I got lucky in capturing my own moment of an engineer’s last run of a VIA train whizzing through Paris.
