Out and about in Ontario
- Thread starter interurban
- Start date
If you are ever in our neck of the woods have a day out on the Morain Train.
It takes you on a 20km (12.2mile) ride between the historic towns of Uxbridge (1872) and Whitchurch-stouffille (1877).
Hear the Hum of the Rails again as the railways tourist train relives the past.
Again mostly operated by Volenteers.
And I dont earn a cent

Hey here it is, the Uxbridge Station .
A lovely Witches hat station , Just what you always wanted to Model.
As you can tell by the snow it was just taken by a friend of mine who just happened to be going to Uxbridge.
Thats it for the Historical Railway.
Anybody got more pics??

6069
Chris:
If I remember right, 6069 is a kitmingle job. They took 6060 and 6069 and produced 6060 as an operating loco and 6069 was what was left.
Blt MLW 11/1944, sent to Sarnia 5/1963.

Thanks David, for the info.
I know of one other steam engine at rest located in Guelph.
I will try and get a pick and info on that one, if my memory serves me well (that will be a first ) I think the two are related some how.
I will be out and about in the snow today hoping to catch some movement , how about you David ?

Guelph has CN 6167, an old friend. Was the fan trip engine for years, then replaced by 6218, which is in Fort Erie.
Also check out 6213 at the CNE. All these are 4-8-4s.

6167 and 6218 were the fan trip engines of my younger days. I saw 6167 in the Stratford shops being overhauled before she started fan trip service. I also saw 6213 being moved into the CNE -- they used a tractor and sectional track. (2 or 3 sections).
I understand that Guelph wants to get rid of 6167 because she hasn't been maintained lately.
(I can't post any photos of them because most of my stuff is on slides.)

Hey! I just posted this http://www.the-gauge.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4158 this morning, after having read about it in Canadian Railway Modeller (ok, it was the July/Aug 2002 edition, but I'm a bit slow).
Does anyone know what is going to happen to this engine?
Andrew
Thanks Andrew I check out your thread.
Hopefuly I can post a pic soon.
Hi David, I wish I could have be around then to ride the fan trips
It must be a bit expensive to put a selection of slides on a CD so you could post them
Would have loved to see them.
