Not your average hitchhikers.
Canadian National #7312 brings a mixed frieght Westbound. Steam still plies the rails of this small community, bringing pasengers, farm equipment and food from the big city.
Most of the Canadian National system has switched to modern diesel power but steam can still be found on the smaller branch lines in this recreation during a Lerro Productions charter.

Good day, aye. A Canadian National local brings a mixed freight Westbound towards the town of Strasburg.
Canadian National 'Mogul' or 2-6-0 #911 crosses a fairly busy dirt crossing in rural Ontario as a Ford truck and bicyclist wait for the freight to clear.
As night falls, the crew of a westbound manifest take their orders as they are about to depart. Thanks to Peter Lerro for putting this event together.
A dream turns to reality, well almost. Thanks to Peter Lerro and crew for a job well done!
The fireman of UP 4012 takes some time to clean the headlight on Big Boy 4012 prior to departure. Thanks to Peter Lerro for the lighting of this shot.
