Steam Encounters in July 1954 VIDEO

I lost count after a while with the email responses to last week’s post (which shared half a dozen Jim Guerin colour pictures of CNR and CPR steam and diesel in southern Ontario)—I think they numbered around 80. Thank you kindly for those responses! I’m only through about half of them, trying to answer back personally to many of them. So if you posed something to me and you haven’t heard from me yet, bear with me please.

Addendum: check out our title Steam Encounters in Ontario vol. 1.
