Accelerating out of Thunder Bay, the era's "Switcher" rolls over Neebing Ave westbound with work at locations like Dryden, Vermilion Bay, Trus Joist and Kenora. 

A number of things here have changed in the years since this shot. 

First off, the SD90Mac trailing disappeared the year after this photo was taken- only to languish for about decade before being rebuilt into an SD70ACu. The "farm leads" loaded with boxcars for the local paper mill were taken our of service and the tracks removed in the coming years, while the smoke stack from the local OPG plant puffing away here, came down sometime in 2021. Progress.....
