It's around 1950 and CNR steam locomotive 5260 has just arrived at
Union Station in Saint John with a passenger train from Moncton. The fireman is
looking back out of the cab to get the brakeman's signal to pull ahead to take
the engine to the roundhouse for turning. Byron Thomas, who contributed this
photograph, remembers his father taking him down to the station to talk to the
engineers and boosting him up into the cab for a look at the controls of such
fire breathing giants or walking down the platform to the mail car to put a
letter in through the mail slot on the car's side. Hockey players now ply the
ground at Harbour Station where this once busy sector of Saint John's daily
life ran its course. This photo is from the collection of Byron Thomas.
