Throwback Thursday - Squamish Shunter.

On July 06, 1989,  RS-18 number 620 (built 1965) was working near the station at Squamish, British Columbia.
By Peter Mumby.

I was able to spend a portion of my birthday in 1989 riding British Columbia Railway's Royal Hudson Steam Train between North Vancouver and Squamish, B.C.  (Technically, it was not the Royal Hudson, but pinch-hitting 2-8-0 number 3716 that pulled the varnish).  We had arranged to ride the train northbound, and ride the ferry southbound, so we were able to follow the train along Howe Sound on the way back.  RS-18 number 620 was puttering around near the Squamish passenger station when we were there, so it posed for an obligatory photo or two.
