I have long forgotten, but no doubt this was one of those times when the "gang of us" spent the whole day yakking and kabbitzin' at the junction; talking trains and taking pictures as well. I am guessing I probably stated I was not going home until I saw "one more train" for whatever reason. But the sun went down first. Along comes that train, and well, I am there.....so not to waste an opportunity I probably set the camera at about 15h of a sec and tried to pan this thing as it went off the Oakville onto the Dundas. Interesting, anyway. I like it.  Numbers not recorded.

  1. The “gang of us” ???

  2. Interesting how the 08 is in focus, rear axle of front truck too. Obviously the one part in sync with your pan. Now, let me get my slide rule out and figure out the physics behind all this. Slide rule??? Uh oh, dating myself again. Heh Heh.

  3. I tried to get the whole cab in focus, but was way off base and surprised I got anything at all. Since this was the days of the ‘fixed lens’ and I was standing too close, this was all I could get out of the situation. Only posted this to see what sort of reaction it would get. “Snake”, who commented here first, probably had long gone home that day, as he spent most of his time laying on the hood of his car sunning his ribs (he was thin back then). This was quite the hangout for fans back in the day.

  4. Arnold: “allegedly”….”allegedly”….with out pics…

  5. Careful, Snake. I DO have pics. Long skin-wrapped collection of bones on a little blue car.

  6. Hahaha you guys :)

    I used to have ribs too! But that was 30 years ago.
