    Yes sir that was me. I spotted the locomotive right at the station in case anyone wanted to take pics. We followed 435 to Silver and had to wait for 394 before we headed to Aldershot

    Phil…wasn’t long ago I got lucky in capturing my own moment of an engineer’s last run of a VIA train whizzing through Paris. I wish I was still living in the area to have captured your moment! Congratulations to you ‘engineered4u’..hope to see you down Chatham way sometime…VIA or not ;)

    Mr. Roach…you have captured a great photo. Cherish it – cause in today’s world of technology you don’t normally pickup any news of an engineer’s last run (I’m without a scanner myself)…:)

    Todd – this was well telegraphed over the air…I think even before Phil left Mac yard mid afternoon- …there was foreman on the Dundas talking about it, the Oakville Yardmaster, 435 – who said they left a cake for him at Aldershot; another train..blurted something over the air, all for the big ham in the photo :)
