"CPR long ago"
Doing the math 51 years ago this year, a westbound CP Rail freight has arrived at Windsor, Ontario. It is seen working thru the south end of the yard back to the engine terminal for fuel and servicing. Digging through my old note books the crew had us up to ride to the roundhouse in the FA, we had taken the tunnel bus to Windsor from Detroit. Then a long walk to the CPR, this power was C424 4240, RS18 8738 and FA1 4025 on July 4, 1973.
