Residing in London Ontario, and having both Canadian National and Canadian Pacific virtually in his backyard, Peter had a steady supply of motive power to chase and record. Through the years he amassed a remarkable collection of locomotive photos; both action views and roster shots. While somewhat in the minority population wise, locomotives constructed by Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) were frequently his subject matter.
