Lined into the small yard at Cobourg, CNR 6167 shoves its excursion consist into the clear in preparation for servicing prior to the westbound run for Toronto.  Today's excursion from Toronto included a stop at Oshawa for traction fans to take in the Oshawa Railway operations which were in the last few years of operation. This day marked the last train down King Street, celebrated by a parade as motor 300 hauled a single boxcar through town.  Note the empty CPR water tower at left along the CPR Oshawa Sub.  Shortly, 6167 and baggage car will head around the wye.


Steve Bradley would shoot the special after its westbound departure from Oshawa highballing through Port Union.
