   Raymond wrote in an e-mail, “This picture is one of my favourites. The train is located just to the east of the station at Pembroke. A stacked pile of lumber at the Consolidated Paper and Lumber Company site near the Ottawa River shoreline is just visible behind the caboose. I wish that we had more winters like that in the Ottawa Valley, with clear blue skies and clean white snow conditions. Good stuff.”

   This picture is amazing. It is just another example of how the kids of days gone by could get thoroughly excited over the chance to see steam engines at work.

   Got to be late in the steam era, with a Pacific assigned to snow duty. This man had an eye for the mundane and he caught time in a single click. Probably the most wonderful set of steam era slide I’ve seen from north of the border. Thanks Del.

   Thank you, Gentlemen, for your kind comments – I’ll pass them along to Del’s sister, Gloria. I spoke with her just the other day. Del passed in 2000, and she misses him dearly. It means the world to her to know that through his photography he hasn’t been forgotten. She is delighted that Del’s images are being shared, viewed and enjoyed.
