Merry Christmas 2019

The crews all preferred second generation hoods as leaders and seldom were F's found in the lead of trains east of Gladstone after about 1973 or so. 2225-A was picked up in Trout Lake after 737 and 502-C had powered this heavy train 911 out from Sault Ste. Marie on this bitterly cold January morning in 1977. Rather than running 2225A around the wye in Trout Lake this crew just tacked the F on the point and are making good time as they rip thru Rexton at or maybe a little above the authorized 40mph speed limit. Merry Christmas 2019 to everyone out in Flickr land from Sonya and I.
