| Hopefully the photographer had had an opportunity to experience the
CN/VIA Turbo Train in happier times. Note that this photo was taken in
late spring from the north side of the Dundas Subdivision mainline. In
the background you can see the elevated area from which many of our
earlier panoramic shots had been taken. Gord Taylor photo from June 17,
1981. |

Since
the Reclamation Plant was a centralized facility, equipment to be
dismantled came to London from across the system. This was a real boon
for the fan of rolling stock, allowing us to photograph equipment that
had strayed far from its customary habitat. In this segment we will
take a look at a few of the pieces, both ordinary and exotic, that
showed up at the yard.

| CN flanger 56483 posed for its portrait on March 26, 1989. |
 |
| CN water car 80100 was about to end its second career on January 01,
1989. Who says you can't apply a CN noodle decal to a Vanderbilt
tender? |
 |
| CN boom tender 60200 was waiting for the cutter's torch on May 05,
1991. Note the 8-hatch express reefer next to it still wearing the CN
green and gold colours |
 |
| CR 50125 was inherited when CN took over Conrail's Canada Southern
operations in the St Thomas area. This view dates to May 11, 1991. |
