Once towering over busy waterfront
railyards, Toronto's still prestigious Royal York Hotel is now surrounded
by a forest of younger and taller buildings. In a scene from an earlier
time, I wanted to co-feature trains from Canada's two major railways, each
drwan by a "Hudson" type locomotive. Canadian National's handsome #5700
was one of only five built for the railway in 1930, while #2839 is one
one Canada Pacific's "Royal" Hudsons; so designated following the King
and Queen's rail tour of Canada in 1939. Departure times and destinations
of these trains are left to the viewer, as Union Station was a hub of activity
during this era of rail travel.
