I remember this to be a really nice Saturday morning for the regular scheduled summer 'steam' trip from Toronto to Niagara Falls and return via Bullet Nosed Betty. I grabbed a couple of shots and then a quick slide of it for posterity as it rolled by. Nice that more than 40 years later I get to share it via Railpictures.ca. NOT nice that it has gone west, thanks to the shortsightedness of our government. But what else is new?

    What does the government have to do with it?

    Funds could not be procured for major boiler work, I believe it was.

    At which level?

    I believe it was at the provincial level. Seeing the CN 6060 was at a dead end without financial assistance, Alberta decided they would undertake the repairs and the locomotive went west.
    Too bad, because it was a huge tourist draw here.

    One of the most beautiful CNR steam locos ever produced. Bring her back nationwide!
