Novacor Locomotive - Sarnia

At the Sarnia VIA station there is a display of new and old tunnel liners. This is one of the new versions framing  no. 40.

Last Wednesday Peter Mumby and I made a trip to Sarnia following the CN mainline. We cut in at a few location to check out the signals but no luck till we got really close to Sarnia.. An eastbound was just leaving Blackwell (east end of Sarnia) and a meet was set up with a westbound half way back to London.  Running late by this point there was no time to turn around as we had a visit planned with Don Janes and Jim Sloan. We did get lucky at lunch when we stopped by the VIA station. Peter dug up the following facts about this engine. Novacor no.40,  an EMD SW1000, nee Houston Belt & Terminal was idling in front of the station. That turned out to be the only railfanning we got in other that the basement kind...more on our visit to Sarnia tomorrow...George Dutka

The day was mostly sunny but for this shot we got lucky with the clouds shading the sun behind the engine. The station platform is not the best place for photographs on sunny days.
