A big wave from the fireman. What a beautiful locomotive! Nice capture John!
Clean looking plant. Ballast well groomed, not a weed in sight to the toe line. Joints well oiled. Spikes down tight, rail anchors in place.
Looks like the Signal Maintainer has been out applying a fresh coat of silver paint to the power switch machines.
A wonderful 1960′s CN scene that brings back a lot of nice memories.
Thanks for posting – Paul

Paul, my pleasure and thanks to Jacob Patterson for scanning, cleaning and posting. In the 1960’s, main lines were “neat & clean”, but once M of W personnel were greatly reduced or privatized and introduction of CWR, it has all changed, John
