A weekend CN passenger #75 is just coming off the CN Oakville Sub onto the Dundas, heading west in this late afternoon image. It is a real shame I cannot find my notes, so the only ID I have is the CN 6782 leader. This looks to be a long train, and the A-B-B-A power is impressive. Note in the far background that this is PRE-walkbridge, that is the old access bridge to the Snake Rd back there. It was replaced by the modern walkbridge in 1975.

    September 1974 must be almost the beginning of you being a Serious Train Photographer.
    What equipment were you using back then?
    No smart remarks about Fred Flinstone rock and chisel.

    I’m trying to remember what I shot this image with.At first I’m thinking ‘Instamatic’ but now I seem to recall a Kodak Hawkeye. The ‘serious’ part I was going thru around that time was trying to come up with the moola for a decent camera.
    Smart alec comments? Me ?? Nah.

    Fabulous image Arnold! A text book example of CN’s late 1950′s re-branding initiative known as the ‘Visual Redesign Program’. Allan Fleming’s handiwork(with help from a NYC based design firm) would debut in 1961 and, beginning in 1978, disappear into VIA.
