Railpictures.ca - Steve Young Photo: This was my only successful stop at Spadina Street. I much-preferred Bathurst St At the time, I did not know just how railfan-friendly the shops were. I elected to stay on the convenient stairway that led down to the tracks. The FPA-4′s were my favorite subjects while in Toronto. The 1600 hrs clear, low angle light highlights the louvers and other details on the side and top of the locomotives. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Hey Steve great shot as usual. In the good old days back then, they were very railfan friendly. I used to go to the shop office and sign a release, they gave me a hard hat and said watch for train movements at any time. I got a few great shots some times, but not as great as yours. LOL i was just a kid with a cheap camera that loves trains. Hmmm, hopefully I have got a bit better at takin pics.
