A personal favourite: Steam was still common on the CPR's Galt Sub in August 1959. I was at Guelph Junction late on a Saturday afternoon to observe a westbound freight stopped for water by the station. Road engine was P3 Mike 5370, and "push engine" to assist was G1 2228 up front.

    Such a great shot from such a wonderful time. Doesn’t the world need a little more of this “pace”?
