TH&B in TO on TO
Author: rbenko

Using a fairly crappy wide-angle lens, I was able to (barely) get the entire CN tower into this shot of TH&B GP7 #74. It was the only fairly fresh-looking unit in a line of badly faded TH&B geeps. I would assume this lineup sat there for a good amount of time before beind disposed of by then-majority-owner Canadian Pacific.

Photo taken May 1986.

Thanks for viewing

CP actually rebuilt a lot of these. THB 74 was rebuilt as CP 1684 in 1987.

Good to know - thanks for the info! Any idea of how long they sat like this in downtown Toronto?
