I grew up in Toronto Ontario.  Back in the 1960s and 1970s, I was a member of the Upper Canada Railway Society.  I and my father and friends would embark to Union Station to board a Steam excursion pulled by Northern Class 4-8-4 locomotives; firstly 6167 and finally 6218.  A full day of runpasts and hanging out the half doors in the passenger cars vestibules with a pair of googles to protect the eyes from cinders.  Pictures were black and white and tape recorders in the baggage car were reel to reel.

Ahh, the good old days
