Hopefully the "weakly" thread will prove to be stronger than past weeks.A great start Doctor Wayne with another beautiful scene on the Grand Valley Division.
During the steam era on the Canadian National the railway owned a total of 203 Northern (4-8-4) locomotives so it was not unusual to see many of these dual service beauties on the Leetown Division.Here's another U2G class locomotive that was recently transferred from Northern Ontario---#6218.Like all other steam engines transferred to the Leetown Division her first stop will be the shops of the EG&E in Lowbanks where she will receive a thorough inspection and service by the expert staff at that location.I was lucky to catch her as she crossed the Maitland River on the outskirts of Lowbanks.
