  1. Very nice shot, but am puzzled by all the head end cars on this train. Whenever I saw the Forest City it was usually just one head end car, 3 coaches and.a parlour car on the tail end. Avoiding going into Hamilton and with limited stops & light consist, it could make its run to London in 2 hours flat.

  2. Interesting. The slide was marked with 75, but could be another train. I’ll go through a 1955 timetable and see if anything could line up with the sun angle.
