Historic images: #6218 in excursion service in 1968!
At the October meeting of this division, I won (in their monthly raffle) a mounted black and white image by David of #6218 in excursion service in 1968. This image, shown above, shows railfans capturing the historic event as the excursion train roars by.
Unlike her preserved sister CNR Northerns in Ontario (#6213 in our museum and #6167 in Guelph) CNR #6218 today is in poor shape on static display in Fort Erie where a small group of enthusiasts, the "Friends of 6218", are working hard to raise funds to cosmetically restore her.
