Ride,
Sally, ride. Not exactly what Wilson Pickett had in mind, but what the
heck. In actual fact, she was not riding very fast or very far, as she
had chosen to pose on the front walkway of OSR GP7 #383 which was
resting inside the Salford shop on May 05, 2018.

When
George and I were touring the Ontario Southland Railway's Salford shop
in early May, we were introduced to the resident roundhouse cat.
Technically, the shop is not a roundhouse, but "engine house cat" just
doesn't have the same ring to it. I never did hear the cat's actual
name, so for the sake of argument ( and this post) I have decided to
refer to her as Salford Sally. You know - "Salford Sally, guess you'd
better slow your Geep nine down." Actually, on the day of our visit,
Sally had the option of lounging on a couple of GP9s, two SW 1200RS
units, an MLW switcher, two FP9s, and a relatively new 6-axle Union
Pacific GE locomotive - in addition to her GP7 of choice. Not a bad gig
for a feline railfan, and on the way home I started comparing her to
that other famous railroad cat. They do look a little similar, don't
you think?
