1986 - Summer Day at Smiths Falls

With the smell of warm creosote all around, here are some photos of freights as they passed through Smiths Falls.

These photos may be from 1986 or 1987.


On the way, here is an eastbound VIA train at Brockville.





A couple of units were waiting in the yard.
You will see at least one of these again below.

Across the yard, the Lee Tavern beckons.



Another eastbound.
The photo above was shot into the sun and was overexposed on the sun side.


Above: Included for fans of Marathon and the Algoma Division.


A westbound leaving the west end of Smiths Falls yard.


Taken in the failing light, I think this was an eastbound.
This was probably my first sighting of one of these Soo Line units this far east.
