It’s a shame the CASO is no more.
The second-best reason to be around Canfield, Hagersville back then ( the first reason, for me, was the C&O……).
The anticipation of whatever NYC could throw on a hotshot and get it over the road. Of course the newer power, like this, was beginning to dominate.
This would be train LS-3, bound for the Streator connection south of Chicago.
“Q” power was fairly common in 1967/1969.
Dave, NYC 2830-2889 were early U30B.
I would not have believed a Burlington unit was in Ontario without this photo.
NYC and CB&Q setup a power pooling ( and run-thru business) arrangement sometime in mid1967. My first sighting of a ‘Q’ engine was Aug1967. You just never knew when and where they could show up, or how many. A few times it was 3 CBQ behind the lead NYC unit, but most times it was 2 or just 1.
It continued briefly into the PC era but then stopped when Burlington Northern was created ( merger of CBQ, GN, NP ).
