Old_Prints

Here are some old prints taken in the early 1950's. There is very little information about these scenes, so if anyone has any more information about them I would certainly like to hear from them!

These photos are from the collection of Pete Kurelek and are used with his permission.

NEW!! I just received a photo from Dale Wilson and we are wondering if anyone out there knows anything about it...date, location, etc. If so, please email me - thanks. (email address on home page).

	This was marked on the back of one of the prints - May of 1951.
	An old combine.
	Trackworkers and sectionmen...

	Waiting for a train to pass...That is Pete's step-grandfather on the speeder.
	There is a train approaching in the distance...note the sectionmen on a motor car waiting for the train to clear.
	Its a rather cold and frosty day by the looks of things....
	Getting those old motor cars going in the cold was not the easiest thing in the world to do!
	A CNR car is on the ground....
	Here is what appears to be a "tail-end pitch in" (Thanks to JDS for that term!)...one of the then-new GP7's has had its cab torn right off. One can see the large round concrete weight. I certainly would like to know the unit number....
	Another view of the above wreck...all of the ACR's GP7's were on the roster when I was working there, so this unit had to have been repaired.
	Another "tail-end pitch in" ....I think the van was the 9508. Taken from the big hook.
