    I well remember this engine at Lambton Yard, and the men who worked on it. It was one of several P1′s assigned to London.

    What a gorgeous locomotive, captured in a typically Canadian setting.

    Bill, beautiful colour picture of a beautiful locomotive !
    Brings back many good memories. The only thing that might have made the picture even greater would have been a GRR electric motor in the back ground. Thank you for sharing.

    A trip down memory lane. The house is still there too; looks much nicer now though.
