Some more pictures from the Al Gradwell collection, via Tim Swaddling. This is a pretty standard shot, but there a great capture of an interesting looking building to the left of the train.

And to all who have enjoy this and the other Kulbacki photographs - feel free to come out to the next Action Hobbies Kingsville Historical Train Slide Show - there's always something interesting for everyone and there is always some local history involved. There is a lot more to see than just the trains themselves in these photos.
Also - you can see in the above shot the old Walker Road crossing gate tower, which is also long gone. Perhaps that will make a future IM posting.
This area of Walkerville is just brimming with history - both in terms of railroading and industry itself. So much to see in every old photo.
Doug i thought it might be an FP but it looks like the PA with the same long front end as the ALCO's had
hi Tim i enjoyed talking to you at the essex train show and as far as the new VIA station goes there's a joke that the city saved money by using the same blueprint they used on the bus terminal it would have been nice to have built something that actually resembles a older train station with all the modern amenities but i keep forgetting were talking about windsor
Gary.....
No Canadian roads had PA's, and by the time VIA came around, the only 4 operating survivors were the ex ATSF quartet owned by the D&H. One of those is now in Texas, and Doyle McCormick is rebuilding the other in Portland, Ore. as NKP #190. I guess there is a Canadian connection with that one. Doyle's repowering it with an MLW 251 engine pulled from a wrecked BC Rail M420B.
thanks for the info Doug i've seen photos of the D&H alco's
