Caption: Canadian National Northern 6167, on a winter UCRS steam excursion from Toronto to Lindsay and back, pauses at Lindsay as a clamshell-equipped crane loads her tender with coal. This was a frequent occurrence on steam fantrips in the diesel era when there were no steam facilities around, or they had all been removed. Fantrip riders, railfans and spectators crowd around her, with some climbing on nearby CN GP9 4401 to have a look in her cab (but she recieves little attention compared to the star of the show, 6167).

Rebuild 6167 and run her for another five decades!
