Making sure this train doesn't come back again. Amazing how many places still have "street" tracks for trains.

Don't be ridiculous! That's not outside of Toronto. I am pretty sure it is the Don Valley. That valley is part of Toronto

Somewhere in Toronto's Don Valley, the name Banff was later changed to North York.

Great thread. When I was a kid I was a modeler. I had a 4x8 layout in N gauge. Enjoyed the hobby. Still have parts around my house somewhere. Tried to get my kids into the hobby when they were young. Could not compete with the Nintendo GameBoys. haha. Did the B&O train museum down in Baltimore and it was a great day to spend with all their exhibits. That Big Boy was quite the marvel of engineering. I searched for a N scale version back in the day.

And for the win, the building in the background is the Miami-Dade County Courthouse, built in 1928.

Thanks Stan, that rules out the B & O. It is probably the Florida East Coast Railway but it does not look like their logo. If you have driven to the Florida Keys you will have seen the remains of the FECRR built by Henry Flagler in the early 1900's. It was wiped out by a hurricane in the 1930 and never rebuilt. Some of the remaining structures are simply incredible in design and construction.

Here's a pic from the Homestake Mining days in South Dakota

Looks like they had both narrow and standard gauge locos at that facility. Cool pic Stan, thanks for posting it.
