Late day scene; I don't recall VIA #75 powered by LRC-only so not sure what number this passenger is. But it is westbound. One of a rather unreliable fleet of BBD locomotives, this LRC-2 6908 was sold to CAD Rail Services in 1999; renumbered as their 2000 and scrapped in 2003. No doubt this location pictured will be puzzling to some locals. That is a QEW bridge in the background, and the barn was razed for the future IKEA complex that now occupies this once fertile field.

    I know where you are. Jobs Lane. Approx where you go in to IKEA from Plain’s Road. Bruce

    Exactly, Bruce. Back when Jobs Lane actually was a lane. Several old brick farmhouses on it. Nothing left now but the cemetery out by Plains Rd.
