Canadian Railroads > Ontario Southland FP9s

Yesterday, the OSR put together a matched set with 1400 and 1401 on the Woodstock job.

1) Leaving the shop at Salford, the pair head north to Ingersol.  From there it's on to Putnam for a lift.

2) With first gen diesels hauling a string of covered hoppers on a branch line with jointed rail and a big sky backdrop, you'd be forgiven for thinking I was out on the great Canadian prairie somewhere.  Returning from Putnam.

3) Backing into the Cami plant at Ingersoll to lift some autoracks for Woodstock.

Good shots.  Nothing like a little sunshine.

Interesting. I remember when those locomotives where assigned to the Lakeland & Waterways Ry (Alberta) in the late 90's. Here's the pair leaving Cold Lake for Edmonton with an empty fuel train.  Jet fuel to 4 Wing Cold Lake came by train in those days.   A photo scan since I don't have a slide scanner. Not the best shot, but you have the idea.

"Please letter me" is what those F's are screaming for.........
some simple stick-on lettering would go a long ways...........
just my opinion which isn't worth anything.

It'll certainly be interesting to see what the eventual paint scheme for these two classics will look like, considering other OSR diesels' livery have a definite link to the TH&B.
