Caption: Ontario Northland 1603 has returned to Uxbridge on the first York-Durham Heritage Railway "Pumpkin Patch & Halloween Train" ride of the day. 1603 appears to be the only unit serviceable on the York-Durham; we were told by a volunteer that the YDHR's RS11 and two RS3s "are fried" and will be scrapped in the Spring. The town owns the station and yard property and wants the area cleaned up. I was later told the locomotives won't be scrapped, so time will tell. There's a lot to look at in this photo: Uxbridge was hit by a tornado in May, 2022 which damaged the station. The station building is closed awaiting repair, so the railway's gift shop is currently in the white tent to the left of the 1603. The pylon in the centre of the photo marks the location where the cab window is aligned to stop the train in the correct location. Passengers are off to the right picking out their pumpkin in the pumpkin patch, except the Mom and little girl who was so upset her face was as pink as her coat. I don't miss the days when my boys were that young!
