Ontario Northland Diesel Visits the IPP&W

More Ontario Northland Fun

Peter came down to Ottawa recently and brought along his Ontario Northland diesel along for the ride. 

We see the train climbing the grade along the property line.

The paint scheme is most attractive.

Here she is at the eastern yard throat at Bell.

Heading onto Track 4.

Holding a meet with my train.  Yes. I'm running steam as that weekend's operations was narrow gauge.  Fred us most gracious as he allows out of town visitors to run whatever locomotive they bring.

A head on shot.

The train is now on its return run.

Traversing the tracks near Watkins Siding.

Rounding the bend at the corner of the property.

Finding daylight after running beneath Mount St. Helens.

Rounding the curve into Peter's Pond.

Last season Peter brought two diesels with him.

I believe a friend worked on one or perhaps both.

They make a great pairing.

The 1809 is a GP38-2.

                                                                       .

The 2201 is a GP40-2.

Thanks, Peter, for bringing such beautiful diesel locomotives out to the session.  Thanks, Fred, for making this all happen!

Have a great day everyone.
