Railpictures.ca - Peter Newman Photo: With a friendly wave from the crew, SD40 #5506 leads the pack from Toronto up the hill towards Agincourt. This picture was taken from the Victoria Park bridge. This teenage photographer never kept any notes, but circa 1975. I’m pretty sure this is one of my earlier shots – I was probably about 14 when I snagged this image. I was likely using my older brother’s Pentax Spotmatic 1000… not sure if I had his permission that day or not. Internet research shows this locomotive was built by GMD in 1966. It was traded to East Coast Motive Power in 2000, and rebuilt by Alstom to become GCFX #3081. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
