Down at the station |
| Description: |
The Owego & Harford had done a nice job with the station, and used it for dinner trains, which ran on a regular basis in the summer. Here some riders are coming out of the former LV structure as the crew chats while changing ends. |

Watching the show |
| Description: |
The Owego & Harford was hard for me to catch, as it seemed to be a morning show several days a week, the scheduke driven by gas cars and excursion trains. Thus, there was no one working when the CP delivered their cars. RS 18 1801 looks on as the gas cars are set off near the Owego station. |

Caught off guard |
| Description: |
Bayview is one of the great places to watch trains in North America, but you can get surprised if youre not watching. This westbound for Toronto caught me off guard, coming around the curve while I was looking elsewhere. I was able to react fast enough to catch the power, a CN Alco, and one of the small number of CN GP 40s that were geared for passenger trains. VIA had not fully established their fleet yet, and CN power was common on trains in those days. |

Another 616 |
| Description: |
This time its a westbound, led by another HR 616. These units seemed to be all over eastern Canada. We had seen several in the Montreal area as well. This train is like a survey of MLW power, with six of seven units of MLW heritage, dating back to the 50's. |

MLW jackpot |
| Description: |
While chasing the 470 Club North Star trip, I jumped over into Edmundston NB, a larger town than Madawasa, where the trip was overnighting. There, I checked out the CN yard, which yielded several unusual models. The 1761 is an MR14C, a retrucked RS 18, now sporting a-1-a trucks. An eastbound would also come through while I was there with an HR 616, so it was Alco heaven for an hour or so. |

Clean Alco |
| Description: |
This RS 18 was showing off its bright red nose, looking really clean on a train that was otherwise covered in road grime. Of course, these units still had a future in those days, so it was not totally unheard of for them to get new paint and a wash. |

Out of the haze |
| Description: |
The area around Hamilton can be smoggy due to the heavy industry there, and sometimes the harbor looks fogged in. This train headed for Toronto rolls out of the fog and into Bayview as it comes around the end of the bay and heads east. |
