Railroading is not as interesting as it was 20 years ago, let alone 35. It’s all relative to your experience I suppose, but this is far more interesting than a pair of ES44DC’s!

Nice. I sure do miss those days as well. The power was far more interesting and the right of ways were so much cleaner and accessible. They even had a 4 axel thingy on the rear end. At least we have those memories.

There’s a lot more undergrowth there now.
Governor’s Road was still Provincial Highway 99 in 1979 wasn’t it Arnold?

Sheesh!!! Caught with a mistake. Yes….in 1979 that would be Hwy 99 in the background. I stand corrected.
