......pre social media....before cell phones,

....... imagine, being at one of your favourite rail location(s)....

......and believe that you are up to speed on all the latest happenings....

.... and looking up at the horizon you see a white plume....

......and then you hear a whistle....what ????

..... hear again....

.....a REAL whistle.....

.....the kind you hear about in stories told to you by your Great Uncle.....

......So 11:30 a.m., April 29, 1979,

presenting

CN extra 6060 East..........

......loafing along at a self imposed 45 m.p.h.......

..... And of course, what else is there to do but photograph active mainline steam on a dreary dull April Sunday?

.....And though this was ....pre social media....before cell phones.....look at the greeters on the platforms, the Bell land line phones were busy that Sunday morning....

At CN Cobourg April 29, 1979, Kodachrome by S.Danko.
