Railpictures.ca - Todd Photo: After catching my first heritage unit the week before, a tip off led me to now catch CP’s military unit by way of 6644. This would be my second time seeing this unit, as my first left little to be desired due to weather. This time, it was leading train 141 and in great sunshine too! Here it is, passing through downtown Chatham around 1130 hrs. on a beautiful Sunday morning. And, even better another heritage unit in the mix too!! | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Very nice. An old familiar spot. The mural on the building behind has faded. Too bad. It was a great prop.

Yes indeed….a Chatham landmark! Thought of your photo too…showing the busier times on the CP when all the sidings were still intact, that served downtown industries and silos. Almost time machined this one to yours, but I didn’t have a stack of ties to stand on!! Of note….some sidings or just the ties were left in place. They’ve just become overgrown or covered up.
