By time I moved to Ontario in 1986 seeing TH&B locos on the road was pretty much a thing of the past as the CP Rail takeover was in full swing. So I had to content myself with shiny new rebuilt GP9u's. Here's a trio cresting the grade (with the help of a TH&B switcher pushing) at Vinemount heading east.

    Nice angle we don’t see too often. Great you captured the signal structure in there. That siding and backtrack is no longer, I understand.
