Old Sydney Colilleries 25, a 1900 built BLW 2-4-0, nee 2-4-0T used to work Cape Breton, until retirement in 1962. I've been to Old Sydney, and am sad to say that with the excpetion of a spur serving a scrap yard, there are no RR industries left (my 2006 Nova Sctotia map lied!). Although plenty...

Although the last Newfroundland train ran in 1988, they have not been forgotten. This is what a classic mixed train would look like, even if it is in Montreal. Since it's narrow gauge, the consist sits on a separate set of tracks, which have not been ballasted.

A typical 50' boxcar is being switched at an industry. Although this is a museum piece, there are still a couple script boxcars working in revenue service: http://www.railroadforums.com/photos/showphoto.php/photo/35973/si/cp%20boxcar%20winnipeg

An old F3 is picking up a tanker at a back of an industry. Dreaming? Yes. However this ex-GTW F3 was only retired in 1994, although I doubt that CN actually used it for so long. Then again it does have the "modern" yellow safety stripe!
Although it's now in a museum, not that long ago, in 2002 actually, these FP9u's were still working in revenue service. Today VIA has one on the roster, used as shop switcher in Vancouver.

Not that long ago gangs of these MLW's ruled CP's mainlines - now they're replaced with AC4400CW's and SD40-2's. This example was retired in 1999 and sent to Canada's biggest RR museum near Montreal, QC called EXPORAIL.
I know this should be in the museum section, but this beast was retired...
