After a solid day of working from home I decided to go see if I could catch American Iron & Metal's TP90 in action. Upon arrival at the north end of Parkdale Avenue there was what appeared to be a questionable individual outside his truck, however upon closer inspection I realised it was just Steve Host who apparently really misses his barber. Any way, the Tractive Power Corp. unit wasn't moving so I just grabbed a few shots and left. It's powered by a Cummins 513 hp Tier 4 engine, and sounded just like a truck when it briefly throttled up. I'll have to go back another day when the sun holds out longer and they're actually moving cars around.

    I should just learn to expect coming across kooks when I’m trackside.
