Nostalgia & History > The 1980 NRHS Toronto Convention, a different view

John Sjolander's fine posting of the NRHs 1980 convention at Toronto spiked me into looking at my own slides from that event. So, here are a few shots I made at the same convention. CN 4-8-2 6060 was the star but the Alcos offered some great views as well.

First, the 6060 in front of the Royal York Hotel where the convention was based. It is ready to depart for Niagara Falls.

Next, the engine as seen from inside the Niagara Falls CN depot.

Then, a visit to the CN roundhouse at night.

Hope you like these. - Jim Herron

Great shots! I just wished we had gotton down to Spadina to shoot some night shots, but for what ever reason we never did. Thanks for posting!
