Mark,

Yes, and also on the far left where two E^F electric locos sit beyond the new(at that time) maintainance depot. My last depot was the terminus for the Main Trunk Line electrification. Thesedays the Electrics are worn out and failing, the accountants think it best they are replaced with new Chinese Diesels of lesser HP and twice the price of rebuilding an E^F.

Tom Morrison a few hours earlier took this shot from the opposite angle and posted it to his Flickr a/c. [flic.kr] Interesting some 30 years later to see that day from someone else's camera.
Note the D^A472 and D^B1180 in my photo are stabled elsewhere in his,the 472 was being used as the Northend shunt loco at that time, the 1180 was a kicker for the Trunk runs. Also there amongst the Diesels is the 30232,a brand new not yet setup E^F.

And Earl, there's nobody in any cab, since I was doing put&take and sheltering from the rainstorm in the Fuelhouse. I was hooking up locos that afternoon and I don't think the D&S can MU anything.
