Any Sunday,

Walk into the office,

On the counter was a basket with paper work for Visitors: Sign the Release, grab a hard hat,

Then stroll around...

...like you own the place....

MLW 1959 built FPA-4 VIA #6773 awaits some attention,

in the background a MLW 1960 built RS-18m, permanently assigned & painted for CN Tempo service CN #315x, and leased to VIA.

Inside the CN Spadina roundhouse – indeed a hallowed place – January 23, 1983 Kodachrome by S.Danko.

    Great memories of the “good old days”. I did that many many times.

    Is that a white swither in the middle between the tempo RS18 and 6773?

    Nice photo thanks for sharing.

    The cabs of the RS-18m, Tempo service units 3150 – 3155, were paint off white.
