Canadian Railroads > Flare FridayDate: 08/07/20 03:03 Flare Friday Author: hoggerdoug EL 3612 (SD45) leading a 5 unit consist at Burlington, Ontario, late June or early July 1972. This train is westbound on the CN Oakville sub and perhaps at Hamilton Junction would diverge to the TH&B trackage and run east to Niagara Falls border crossing. This was one of numerous detour trains run on CN & CP for a few weeks account damages from Hurricane Agnes in the eastern USA.
Kodak Instamatic Memories.    Date: 08/07/20 03:05 Re: Flare Friday Author: hoggerdoug I'm wondering how well the image turned out for this fellow and his vantage point. Perhaps a "caption this" image.
Thanks for looking. Doug  Date: 08/07/20 07:27 Re: Flare Friday Author: hoggerdoug Here is what the other fellow (Bruce Mercer) got from up on the signal tower. BTW, I jumped the photo line in the leftside of the image.
Taken July 10, 1972 and this train did go to the TH&B in Hamilton, then east to Welland on the TH&B to the Penn Central and then back to the EL in Buffalo. Doug Edited 1 time(s).
