Commuter rail to Boston. An inbound train is pushed through Needham Flats with West Roxbury's Millennium Park in the background. The park is built atop an old landfill. West Roxbury is a neighborhood of Boston, but the train still has about 10 miles to go before it gets downtown.

  did Winnepeg Hydro have a Sykes rail bus at one Time ?
  that front truck sure looks like a Sykes truck.
  interesting way to coble up a rail Bus.

I'm not sure...  I know they had an eclectic collection of equipment through the years. I will check the rosters in my books when I get home on Sunday. 

They did own at least a couple Mack Railbuses including one that's preserved in Winnipeg.

@Spikre best I can determine Re: the front truck is it was taken from a previous rail bus converted in 1970 and before that another one rebuilt in 1935/36. there's no reference to its origins in the book only that its front truck was rebuilt in 1940
Possible they found one on the parts market or copied its design. but none of the Winnipeg utility companies owned anything built by Sykes.
