I like seeing all those yellow targeted switch stands each topped with an oil burning lamp! Appears to be a crane and an orange piece of equipment tucked away in the yard behind the rolling stock at the right. Amazing how many people are milling about the main and yard tracks! Train time is anytime!
CNR should bring back these historic family gatherings. How many people haven’t seen a steam locomotive doing what they did in building the nation?
Good points, guys. Now that the railroads have taken firm control over trespassers and made life miserable in many ways for the overly enthusiastic photographers; just how much have fatalities and the like been reduced? I hope all these people in this photo have given up any rights to sue.:o)
This scene shows a major part of what life was all about back then. Treasured events. To witness one of these behemoths thundering by is something all should experience someday. But won’t.
Paul, I’ve come across a few other images of 6167 being turned one the wye here. The crane was used to load coal from an old side dump gondola.
