Many thanks for solving the mystery.  We could not come up with any location in Canada, on any railroad, that came even close to matching that postcard claiming to be "along  the CPR line".

I also was sure the location was NOT on the CPR, nor in Canada.
 
Drove over the Blatnik Bridge back in 1971 w a CJ5 on the way West  rather
 than go North by Sudbury and over the Shield.
 
How things have changed from the Attachment.
 
Change visible almost every place Trains have operated for any length of time.
 
The Gas Works near our home had similar Gas Holders and a lovely 2-6-2.
 
As No. 2.
 
 
As No.3. Gas Holder to rear.
 
 
 
 
 

Thank You.

Didn't think much of that 'railroader culture', did he?

Is he on record anywhere commenting on EHH?

Was EHH leading CN in 1986?  I don't think so.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Of course not.  The question is whether Foisy is on record commenting on EHH or his desired culture.
