Accelerating out of Thunder Bay, the era's "Switcher" rolls over Neebing Ave westbound with work at locations like Dryden, Vermilion Bay, Trus Joist and Kenora.

The "farm leads" loaded with boxcars for the local paper mill were taken our of service and the tracks removed in the coming years, while the smoke stack from the local OPG plant puffing away here, came down sometime in 2021. Progress.....
