VIA RAIL EASTBOUND TRAIN LED BY MLW FPA-4 #6771 CROSSES THE GRAND RIVER - PARIS, ONTARIO, CANADA - JANUARY 3, 1981

            With the temperature around -11 F (-24 C), an eastbound Via Rail train crosses the trestle over a frozen Grand River, at Paris, Ontario.  Been to this location numerous times, but no doubt this was the coldest time I've been there.  Back in those days, it didn't seem to matter that it was so cold, the trains kept running.  And some maybe not too smart members of the Cleveland Railfan Mafia traveled to chase them, but then on the other hand we got some cool shots.  On a trivia note, the next day would be the the lowest temp ever recorded in the Toronto area, at -24 F (-30 C)!  And somehow the car started the next morning for more frigid train chasing.....
