The local steam train is running today.

They will often run an old Diesel with a horn that sounds like a ships fog horn. Tis a treat to hear the chug chug of the steamer & it's whistle.

Interesting! I have a long history with ex CPR #136, which last operated by the railway here in New Brunswick. I was 14 when on a railfan trip in 1958 when I rode behind it. Saw it where you are, believe its the South Simcoe Railway when in the area on a railfan convention about 20 years ago.

Here's one of my photos of #136 taken in Cody's, New Brunswick in 1958:

You were born the year we got married.

Two of my wife's brothers retired from the CN after working for them in Campbellton & Moncton yards.

It is a hit with the kids. Here is a shot I took two years ago.

It is commonly known as the Tottenham Steam Train but is actually the South Simcoe Railway. It runs out of Tottenham ON which is 60 km/40mi north of Toronto.

Here is a link to it:

Thanks, I'll have to see about that way maybe next year when it's running and bring my FIL and the kids!

Great old iron shots!

Very cool Ron

I rode that train out of Tottenham, when my kids were little. Hey, maybe it's time to go back and shoot a few pictures of this old technology on old technology film, before they both will whistle final good by.

Great stuff! Brings back memories of when I was a youngster.
