Railpictures.ca - A.W.Mooney Photo: Taken 31 years ago this coming Remembrance Day (how appropriate!) at Intermetco (Atlas Steel) in Welland. Now that CP has taken control of the old Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo railway and the regional is basically no more; we see the potential candidates for the scrapper………TH&B 52, 55, 58, 54, 53 and 56. In the end, all GMD switchers found new homes. Missing in this lineup is #57, which went to London as GMD 57; and EMD NW2 units 52,53 and 54 were all scrapped, save for #51, not in this grouping, which went to the OSR in 1992. The far background is where Trillium kept their units until recently, along Brown Rd just south of Woodlawn. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Well that’s a sad sight. I wish the “home road” had lasted longer. Interesting that 52 looks like a lighter shade then the others.
