St. Luc-West Coast secondary train 481 usually arrived in great afternoon light in the Sudbury area and was often powered with a number of MLW's. I'd have given about anything if that lead -2 wasn't on the point of this train as it worked upgrade thru Levack. Power on Sept 6, 1991 is 5673, 4717, 1529, 4733, 4734 and 5743 and yes the sound was fantastic. 4717 had to be one of the better looking big MLW's on CP at the time but sadly it seriously caught fire on the D&H not to long after this picture and was one of the early M636's to be retired.

I was looking through my old 'reject' photo files from a year ago and found a few that looked a bit better than I had considered at the time!
This one, of a brand new Volvo B5TL / Wright Gemini 3, number 481 (SK17 VNS) is seen hurling along Corstorphine Road, at the site of the old Pinkhill station which closed in 1968 (which still retains its platforms today).
The three spires in the distance belong to St. Mary's (episcopal) Cathedral on Palmerston Place at Hamarket, and on the left behind these trees is the 'Spire' Murrayfield Hospital, once a school until its closure in the late 1970's - Scotus Academy for boys, the very school I went to.
One of the new 28s on Milton Street on its first day in service. It's the only one I've photographed so far.
Hardly an original shot; of a bus parked at the city centre terminus, plus I expect lots of photos similar to this one will be uploaded very soon of all the pink deckers since it's their first day in service, but this was something I happened across rather than specifically being out for (I was doing stuff in town and photo'd some buses while I was there). It deserved a photo nonetheless and is the first to be crossed off for the pink bio-gas buses.
Also, let's not forget that this was (until now) the final route utilising branded N94 chassis Omnidekkas, which are now withdrawn and leaving the fleet. I will miss you N94UDs.
