On a cloudless June morning, train 72 has pulled away from it's scheduled stop at Chatham and is about to cross the C&O diamond. 6771-6861 have at least 10 cars behind them as they cross Park Street and accept the Clear signal for the automatic interlocking. I'm standing on C&O Subdivision 2 as I record the scene. You can still see 6771 in action these days, living a less strenuous life on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railway near Cleveland OH.

    Nice series of VIA scenes from the Chatham area. Those were the days. Thanks for sharing, Bruce.
