Caption: Old Sydney Collieries 2-6-0 17 works the industrial trackage at one of their mines in the Sydney Mines area of Nova Scotia, in early August 1961. The engineer, doing double duty as the fireman, had just shoveled a lot of Cape Breton coal into her, before a cut of 4 hoppers (and the photographer) to the Sydney & Louisburg interchange, and thence on to Glace Bay. An alternate view posted before shows a closer view of 17 working the same mine: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=27056
