It looks like the Mountain-type has a smile on her face as she sprints away from Toronto! Check out Steve Danko’s great colour shot and narrative of this event… http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=14218 (I was fairly certain that this image was taken around Brimley Road in Scarborough. The current satellite image, however, doesn't quite match. My apologies if I missed the mark).

    Yes, Arnold… you heard that almost correctly (but I’m not sure who you were talking to). Although I live south of the 49th, I still steam my sprouts – it is a Canadian thing – they taste much better that way. (Stephen: Mr. Mooney started this 22 minutes after the picture was posted… blame him – I had nothing to do with this silliness, lol).

    I’d say it’s Brimley Road too. A lot has changed. An underpass was built in 1984.

    Very nice shot Peter. The 6060 is a beautiful engine, and the super elevated curve really adds to the photo.
