Why are these engines being pushed by that CN unit?

Good point.
Do we make locomotives in Canada anymore?
gee i don't know george
Spelling error in the title Andrew - no "D" in Peabody!
The old F unit on the front appears to be missing a pane of glass?
That's a CN RS18 heading for the riverfront turntable with the VIA units.
The Walkerville Town Hall building sits on the old C&O right of way further up Devonshire.
Hard to believe sometimes that this is the same place. And this is only 25 years ago!
Imagine the rail traffic this area once had (especially with the PM/C&O and ferry service). A lot of hustle and bustle. Industry. Now it's a mere shadow. A sleepy end-of-the-line.
Hey look the building's still being used, what a missed sight.
