1991?
Date should be 1981, a slip of the finger….
Neat, too bad all that trackage is gone today. That section on the east side continued to serve Redpath until 2008 or so.
When I started on CP in 1973, we had 6589 & 6590 at Woodstock (ON) for the Port Burwell Wayfreight & the Woodstock Roadswitchers (yard job, road crews). The 1830 R/S went to Ingersoll & back most nights. One time 6539 was sent to replace one of our ’6500s’. It wasn’t supposed to be in road service because it lacked a pilot between the footboards & had a one chime horn that sounded like a tugboat.We used it anyway & accidentally ‘forgot’ the 25mph speed restriction for units without pilots.
