You read that right, CP GP38-2 3124 leads #133 west through Rosedale. #133's original lead unit, SD40-2 5788, crapped out and was replaced by 3124 at Smith Falls.

Appreciating every moment of this era of eccentric lashups on both CN and CP systems before normality kicks in again. While I'm having fun, here is CN U710 with an SD60F leading two BNSF wide cabs.

Wait a second, that's not right! CP train #241 makes a surprise appearance on track 1 at Kipling GO station, to make room for trains #642 and #240, who were using the main tracks, both north and south, admist the last bit of the GO rush. Originally installed from Royal York to Meadowvale for the then-new GO Milton service in the 80's, track 1 is now rarely used for anything other than autorack storage.

Also, of note, this is my 1300th photo posted to Flickr. Cool.

First it was the Expressway, now ethanol tanker #642 was sporting a rare GP38AC as well as two CSX units, seen hauling east through Kipling.
