It is almost hard to believe now that there was a time when railfanning around the Niagara Region could keep a Railfan busy all day, even Niagara Falls was still a busy railroad town. Back in 2002 CN Niagara Falls yard was still a busy place, not just for CN but NS run-through trains as well. While the stack trains to Dain City were history, NS still had through trains 327 / 328 and the NS Buffalo to Niagara Falls turn job 445. ON this day venerable former Conrail Dash-8 8202 was pulling off the Stamford sub. at Cliffton and about to back into the CN yard. Sadly today these old Dash-8's are long gone along with CN's yard in the "Falls". Today NS only runs as far as Fort Erie, and trains 327 / 328 are history as well.

  1. This was a neat catch as there would likely not have been many NS C39-8’s remaining at that time.

  2. I agree. This is a rare find.

  3. One of the more unusual looking GE’s.

  4. Didn’t these last a few more years? I swear I got quite a few of these (NS or CR) on 327/8 well into 2006..

  5. They lasted until 2008, I believe, but it wasn’t often you spotted these away from the Boston Line….and they had to be rare in Canada.

  6. Neat. I had no idea what they were back then. Just another non EMD… I managed a few on camera.

  7. According to my Conrail book, there were only 10 of the C32-8′s originally numbered 6610-6619, some received the grey ballast express paint job.
