Canadian Railroads > Forty FridayDate: 09/16/22 04:49 Forty Friday Author: hoggerdoug A clear day, January 1973 and PC 6061 (SD40) leading a pair of GP 40's westbound out of St. Thomas, Ontario on the NYC/PC CASO.double track main. This impressive bridge is located on the western side of St. Thomas, ON.
The trains don't run here anymore, the double track mainline was ripped up years ago. The bridge still stands and is now an "elevated park" as well as a "rails to trails" walkway. It was deemed too expensive to dismantle and remove the bridge. All part of the history of St.Thomas, sometimes called Railroad City. Photo taken by my good friend Bruce Mercer and posted with his permission. thanks for looking, Doug Date: 09/16/22 05:55 Re: Forty Friday Author: refarkas First-class historic scene.

Date: 09/16/22 12:36 Re: Forty Friday Author: stevelv Great shot. Too bad the CASO didn't last a little longer. Could have been a high speed intermodal route for Conrail then CSX bypassing congestion at Cleveland and Toledo.
