Railpictures.ca - Greg Roach Photo: Well…there I was wandering around the Queen Street area…looking for a different angle to shoot after the usual Spadina Road shots of the roundhouse stuff. I was in position to shoot a WB VIA on the Weston Sub but it was looking like, at the time, another mundane RS18 leading. Out came the Parkdale Operator with some trainorders for train 169…..Well…I think I’ve got my shot here ! You may notice the conductor with his head leaning out the back….probably much to his delight. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

I do not see a heavyweight….Jennifer was from St Catherines, so she may have purchased kale or broccoli in Arnold’s store….
Of course I don’t expect him to remember that, he was a dedicated employee

Look in parking lots..if you see a “vehicle” with black smoke coming out of the tailpipe..a mechanic riding in the “jump seat”..likely you’ve found his store.
