Going to Work

WC train LO-41 is departing up the hill out of Trout Lake with 590 and 582 leading 45 cars on December 18, 1989. The former SOO hi-rail sits in front of the depot on the Gladstone-Soo yard main while 41 occupies the diamond on this cold late afternoon. Engineer Tom has just notched up his power after clearing the diamond and 590 let go with a puff of smoke as it went to work on the grade. The MOW crew is working late on snow removal and I'll soon be getting in the mail truck running a night extra to Sault Ste. Marie with holiday packages. So on this day we were all going to work.
