Caption: T&NO #503 now sits on a track panel surrounded by dumpsters, track ties, bridge timber, and yet to be installed park benches. Since I last photographed this locomotive in April of 2002 it has been cleaned and repainted to help protect it from the elements. It still sits in an unprotected area at the end of the North Bay, ON station parking lots where vandals have easy access to it with their spray cans. Remnants of ONR's European 'Tee-Train' sit on the ground in a fenced-in compound just a few yards away.
