Note: This engine is displayed in Sarnia. Sister 6060 became famous in steam excursion service and remains in limited use.

Interesting detail in this photograph of slightly blurred engine westbound approaching Bathurst Street (Front Street West in background) caused not by its speed which would be quite slow but rather by the very low film speed (ASA 10) of colour film back then. Switchtenders shack with coal/coke bin, low mounted loudspeaker(atop white post) used by towerman to communicate with switchtenders. Low switch stands and a higher one.
