Caption: Over the years I have gone out of my way to avoid people in my photos. Yet, when I saw this slide, the people came alive. No longer was this just a sterile front-coupled roster shot of a MLW FPA-4, but this was a small piece of history captured on film. CN 6786 is at Toronto Union Station in mid-June 1972. A worker is going between the locomotive and the first car. Perhaps he will uncouple the locomotives from the train. Two men (possibly crew members or a railfan and a crew member) are talking at the back end of the locomotive. The woman seems to be getting impatient while waiting for one of the men to stop talking and to leave with her. The baggage cart reminds me that soon passengers' baggage will be unloaded. Then I noticed the number of the unit. It was CN 6786. That seemed familiar. On my first railfan trip to Canada in 1968, she was the first MLW FPA-4 I photographed. I was reunited with an old friend!
