Caption: Run past !
Steam & Snow !
...not the latter....sure felt like it.....
WCR #9 struts her stuff with a fine run past on a very blustery late summer afternoon...
Sure was nice to hear the whistle echoing through the hills !
Former ETR #9, MLW serial 64276 built February 1923 on a private charter train September 13, 2014.
Hats off to the people at WCR, to allow us to experience mainline live steam fifty four plus years after the class ones dropped the fires.
( Mainline indeed, the 11.8 mile Waterloo Spur is owned by the Region of Waterloo, maintained by CN, the regular freight service is provided by GEXR and the periodic passenger service provided by WCR )
