Caption: After one of the regular summer steam excursions from Toronto to Niagara Falls, Canadian National "Bullet-nosed Beatty" 6060 sits near the station in Niagara Falls being serviced as passengers crowd the platforms for an up-close and personal look at the big 4-8-2 Mountain (a few even climb up into the cab). CN RDC-4 6401 sits one track over near the station, on one of the regular Toronto-Niagara Falls trains. A rare Budd RDC-4 (one of only 14 made, 6 of which were owned by CN), in a scene like this it doesn't hold a candle to a live steam locomotive.
