Oooh that's a neat one Tom. I don't think I've seen it before. Nice passenger E Thumbs Up [tup] The Harbour 's not easy to photograph. Apparently they have gone all boring with a mostly SD40-2 roster now Sigh [sigh]

A neat shot of VIA comming into Brantford. This shot is at Paris West

G'day Tom , yes that lake steamer did have a large funnel. That is the Northhumberland built in Glasgow for the Canadian Govt's PEI ferry servcie accross the Northumberland strait to Nova Scotia. It came into NS&T service in 1920 replacing the much smaller and older packet steamer Lakeside. Ran until 1949 when she burnt in Toronto Harbour during the winter layup.Two triple expansion steam engine in that beauty built in 1903 if I remember correctly could do 20 knots.Another NS&T shot from the archieves.

Rob - Don't know whether duplex or triplex . . . Nice RDCs, but lead needs a bath! Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg] Don't know why, but the VIA didn't "do it" for me this time. Hmmmmm. Guess after all of the Classics we've been viewing for over three years at the bar, that livery just doesn't wind me up anymore . . . but, thanx for putting it up - it's a fine looking passenger train!
