Scheduled to depart Parry Sound at 1040h, the train is due into Toronto's Union Station just over four hours later at 1445h.

    Unreal. The diesels sure are nice, but I can only imagine it wasn’t that much earlier you’d see steam going by here..

    Now this is a real treat! This has always been a favourite location of mine so seeing this view from ’62 is quite something.

    Yes, Ryan….you’re probably thinking like me and wanting to pack the “tools” to open up this angle again for 2023 !!!

    Thank you all for your comments. The person “holding up the Do Not Trespass sign” is my dearly-missed buddy Jim Brown. We were out celebrating the end of university exams, He wanted a more “head-on” shot, I was too lazy to climb down to the r-of-w, so obeyed the sign – no forest fire smoke that day, John
