What was a rare catch for me back then was the "CPBU" in daylight. I was a bit of a shock to see this. Like most other fans, I just accepted the fact this generally ran under cover of darkness. Here it is, Toronto to Buffalo run thru, moving along at a good clip as it crosses Grimsby Rd (12) as I photographed it from alongside of Young St. The train is close to the Smithville name sign, another quarter mile along. Power is CR 2887, 3634 (x-RDG) and 8071.

    Good grief… You must have found another yellow box under your bed. Very nice, Mr. Mooney.

    Thank you, Mr. Smith. I kinda figured Conrail might get your attention.

    I echo the sentiments of Mr. Smith. I enjoy a good good grief. It’s usually good :)
