A ho-hum shot quickly becomes historic as it appears this was the last 598 to operate on the Burford Spur. RLHH 2111 had the honours of being on the last train, seen here shoving five hoppers across Darling Street back to the CN Dundas Sub. I figured I'd be stuck in traffic on Clarence Street anyway so I decided to pull over for a photo. I'm glad I did.
