On the menu today we have...
Photo 1:
CPR 6553 a S-3 built by MLW in 1956.  The location is Swift Current SK, the date is October 1st, 1977.

Photo 2:  
On the way west I took the long route Ottawa, Montréal, Senneterre, Cochrane Hearst, Nakina & Winnipeg.  This required an overnight stay in Cochrane where I was free to wander both the CN and the ONR's facilities.  RS-10 1401 (MLW 1955) is about to leave the shop and do some switching in yard.  Cochrane, ON  September 19th, 1977.

Photo 3: 
Rapido No.39 cools its heels waiting for local train No.38.  It is Labour Day weekend, perhaps the end of summer traffic slowed things down for the local. In a perfect world, the local should been waiting for No.39 to blast through Casselman, but today it's train No.39's turn to wait.  Each train has a FPA-4 on the point.  Casselman, ON September 4th, 1977.

Excellent photos. My favorite is number three.

Lovely trio, Gerry. In the last shot, I guess the message is to lift the flanger blades, and keep 'em up for quite a while. That's a stack of warning tags on the post.
