Comments on: With a plume of smoke billowing above, CNR 6167 approaches the Humber River on its way west out of Toronto during an Upper Canada Railway Society excursion to St. Thomas.Originating at Toronto Union Station, the excursion ran to Hamilton where a pair of MLW RS3s; 3004, 3019, were added ahead of 6167 to assist the train up the Hagersville Subdivision to Caledonia, even though the 800 ton consist came in well under the 1,400 ton haulage capacity for Northerns up the grade. The diesels would be removed at Caledonia, the tender replenished with water, and the excursion would depart for Jarvis with a couple of runpasts along the way at Caledonia and Garnet, captured here by Bob Sandusky. Further runpasts would be held along the Cayuga west of Jarvis before arriving at St. Thomas where Doug Page captured the train before it turned for home.Westbound over the bridge at New Sarum, Photographer Unknown.

Sitting in that first coach with an arm out the open window, taking in the smell, the sound and watching the miles go by would have been priceless. A great image.

A majestic image. A perfect sky and perfect plume.
