Railpictures.ca - A.W.Mooney Photo: I’m not into artsy-fartsy type photos, but sometimes when out and about an opportunity presents itself for something a little different, and I give in… While waiting at Kitchener VIA for #432 to happen by, I looked at these two locomotives and I thought..”Its mating season”, even though it is only late February. Just the way they lined up was different……….. the 901 and the 700 now both off the roster. The 901 has been scrapped; I remember a long time back it was set off on an industrial siding somewhere near Seaforth and I never saw it run again. The 700, according to CTG, went to Cape Breton. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Now, c’mon Mooney don’t belittle your work. A photo like that makes you a leading member of the Railfan Community. It’s the type that used to be published in TRAINS magazine. It’s actually a very nice shot and shows a good eye for detail.

Great shot Arnold. I took some pics of the 901 sitting in Goderich back in May 2008:
