This is a very rainy day shot of the Portage Flyer of Huntsville Ontario. Running only 1500 ft. of narrow gauge track from Peninsula Lake to Lake of Bays to carry goods, and passengers, to/from the ferries running the lakes. This little engine pulled its load up a 7% grade on some sections of track which is unheard of this day.

Thanks Ed. Would loved to have given it a little breathing space, but there was a car at crossing on front of it. We did go on this for a ride, and went through the pioneer village there also. Def a trip worth doing.

That a cool little train. My sister lives just outside Huntsville near Algonquin Park and even with my many trips there was unaware of this little Railroad. Will have to check it out on one of my visits. By the way I like the sharpness and the B&W processing.
