This Herzog tie train graced Huntsville Yard with its ugliness over the Victoria Day long weekend. The previous week a load of ties heading north in rickety old gondolas caught fire south of Gravenhurst and was suspected of igniting a half-dozen brush fires between there and around Mile 145 of the Newmarket Sub before smoke was noticed and the offending car cut out of the train and attended to by firefighters. The well-type cars used on this train appear to be a bit more fireproof. As a footnote, James Hoffman informs me that this contraption has an EMD 645 prime mover and a Leslie horn, so it sounds a lot better than it looks!
