The time is 12:45 and CN/VIA Turbo 61 has arrived on Track 1, while CN Mountain 6060 is preparing to depart with a Santa Special for CN Employees and their family on a frosty Dec 10, 1977.

So very much has changed in 37 years.

Cold days of winter brings out the glory of steam to its full extent. Proof positive is CN 6218 making its way north on the Bala Sub, with a train of railfans. Passing under the CPR, 6218 makes a beautiful sight from the shoulder of the Don Valley Parkway. Back in 1965, the DVP was quiet on a weekend, and pulling off for the occasional train picture was no problem.

The time is 18:26, and CN 69 has just arrived at Dorval. P204 is the tail-end power car for 69's Montreal to Toronto 3 hour 59 minute run.
As 69 takes on passengers at its only westbound stop, the locomotive engineer on CN Extra 4595 East notches out the throttle for the final few miles to CN's Taschereau Yard.

Pete Newman's posting of the 5 FPA's twigged my memory. Sure enough, here is the same train from a different angle.
CN train 62 from Toronto to Montreal had a heavy consist due to an Air Canada strike. All equipment was put into service as "the flyers" flocked back to railway stations. The strike lasted about one week, and provided some exceptional consists.
Needless to say, the sound of 62's passage was amazing.
