Caption: There are some locomotive models that we take for granted, and then all of a sudden, where did they all go? With me it was these behemoth NS Dash 8s, Dash 9s and the like. One day I realized I was not seeing them any more. No wonder. They were all retired.
In this image, it is an early winter's morning, so early that I found I had to drive east of Grimsby to get enough light for a decent shot. Every minute counts when dealing with early mornings. NS 8794 Dash 9, 8732 Dash 8 and 5418 SD50 x-Conrail provide plenty of horsepower needed to carry #328 eastward to the US border.
This old bridge is gone as well. Considered unsafe.

Miss those GE standard cabs.
