Rescued from reject pile
Author: newtonville150

There are number of shots over the years that I remember taking, but for one reason or another I screwed up.
I fished this one out of the reject box this afternoon. It's from August 1984 and can't be repeated today.
Two CN F-units and an SW switcher of some kind on local job K037 at Scarborough Junction. This train
probably went up the Geco spur from the Kingston sub just east of Warden Ave to switch the Scarborough
van plant and was returning downtown via the Geco spur's connection with the Uxbridge sub after completing
it's work. This scene is completely different today. Note the CN transfer caboose at rear. The shot is badly
oversharpened, but heck...F-units, two track Kingston sub, Scarborough van plant...all long gone.

Thanks...the exposure was great, but the shot was badly out of focus.
But it's history :)

Very nice, amazing the switcher cab appears to be higher than the F's!
