Pickering Train

Barry Churcher · #1 31-08-12, 02:39

This was taken today by a friend of Brian and I. He and his son spotted this train in Pickering Ontario. I kind of panicked because Dirk said he was having a few things sent to Castleton.

I managed to get a closer look.

Cheers,
Barry

I am just use to going by my last name more then my first, when I was first home from basic training, unless you were family or close friends I didn't respond to my first name. The vehicles on the train are not scrappers, everything is finally back and is getting redistributed to units across Canada.

This was my latest e-bay purchase. I got it on a 'buy now' option.

Clive, do all your best friends on MLU get samples? If Bob doesn't have room I could park some overflow here.

I am not very good at cropping photos but here are more shots,

Looked like a Van Doo's marking on the kitchen trailer.
