TIR 500
Title:  TIR 500
Description:  Thousand Islands Railway 500, one-of-a-kind homebuilt diesel rebuilt by CN owned-Oshawa (electric) Railway from an electric locomotive. Trucks and traction motors from Oshawa 42 were utilized along with twin 125 HP Waukesha gas engines. Other parts were provided by Whitcomb, who assigned it their builders number 50006 12/30. This tiny 35 ton unit operated briefly on the Oshawa Railway before becoming Thousand Islands 500 in March 1931 where it operated on the tiny CN-owned railway. In 1947 it was re-engined with twin 142 HP Cummins diesels. It was retired in April 1963 and finally put on display in April 1966 in Gananoque where it ran most of its life. TIR 500 info by R. L. Kennedy.

VIA 6412
Title:  VIA 6412
Description:  After visiting family in the 1000 Islands area, it was off to Gananoque, where this un-manned station still serves the VIA Toronto-Montreal trains as a 'flag-stop'. I barely had time to get this shot as the trains soar through here in a flash. See the next pic of the shot I really wanted - about 5 minutes after this one, when the sun popped back out in the last few moments of the day to light up this quaint building - constructed in 1901.
