Caption: I can't really explain how I remember this being Toronto- Winnipeg 215. It was the third of the western hotshots out of Toronto behind 211; all pigs and pool cars to Winnipeg, 217 to Vancouver, and this one cleaned up the details. There was usually a large cut of empty lumber flats on the tail end that would go through to Edmonton, and most to Prince George from there. The C40's were just arriving on the property and this may well have been a first trip west where coal, grain and potash service awaited.

Great shot! The detail, depth and curve just grab the eye. Lots to see and take in. Miss the look of those C40s.
A great capture.
