  1. Those are GP35 units.

  2. Ken, you are absolutely right.

  3. ExcellentB I think I have a perfect time machine pairing for this one.

  4. Steve, I think you do.

  5. Thi might be a short Aberdeen turn returning to London.

  6. Ron, you may be absolutely correct regarding an Aberdeen turn from London.

  7. I recall seeing that unusual van in London. One day on my way to high school I saw a CP train with a yellow bay window ‘van’ too. That was about the same year you took this photo Dave.
