Date: 12/09/18 08:36 Re: OTD: GTW's Maple Leaf 1958 Author: gregscholl Nice regular service shot. I was fortunate to see a little action in 1956-58 in and around Durand, and my dad captured 6315 on the Chicago train.
Here is a link to some preview clips, that show 6325 in action on the Ohio Central in 2001 and 2002. Scroll to bottom two previews on this page. Enjoy! http://www.gregschollvideo.com/previews3.html Greg Scholl http://www.gregschollvideo.com PS I for one miss OC Steam, which was about 3 and half hours from where I am.

Bob Krieger Cheyenne, WY Date: 12/09/18 20:32 Re: OTD: GTW's Maple Leaf 1958 Author: Panamerican99 You can see them in action in the DVD "Glory Machines of the Grand Trunk Western", filmed in the 1950's by Ben T. Young, Jr over several years.
Also included in the video is an aerial chase of ex-GTW 5629 that was shot by Dick Baldwin. -JH Date: 12/10/18 06:42 Re: OTD: GTW's Maple Leaf 1958 Author: Milepost_130 Regarding this image, a friend provided the following insights: "The photo of 6334 was taken as the outbound train approached Elsdon Yard. You can see the yard leads to the right. The middle of the train is on the Kedzie Avenue bridge."
