Railpictures.ca - A.W. Mooney Photo: With passenger coaches borrowed from Medina, NY railway historical group, the Trillium Rwy, back then known as the Port Colborne Harbour Railway, used to sponsor train rides as part of Port Colborne’s “Canal Days”. This was a tall-ship, and street party festivity still celebrated each year over the Governor Simcoe (Civic) holiday weekend. The train rides are no longer, resulting in this view of former PCHR Alco C-425 #6101 smoking it up with Alco S-1 308 (x-International Harvester, xx-Erie) on the rear as something from the past. Both locos are gone from the Trillium roster now, the 6101 back to NYLE in 2001 and currently it resides on the D-L in Scranton, PA., and the 308 (blt. 1946!) is now on the NYLE, having been transferred there in 2003. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Is that from the pictures that were published in the magazine Arnold?

CDNt.p.: If you’re referring to that blurb in Railpace back in 1997, no this wasn’t in the article. I do have one image set aside from that article to post in the near future. Thanks!!
