In the 1980s, a fertilizer plant in Port Maitland, Ontario, started receiving unit trains of phosphate rock from Florida, as well as acid trains from Northern Ontario. CP handed both of these trains off to the TH&B at Aberdeen Yard.<br> <br> One such "rock extra" is pictured here at Vinemount with TH&B geeps 72, 73, 77 & 403 working their collective guts out.

The three Penn Central geeps pictured here on the Starlight, are from the era when power from three different railways was supplied for this train. On Sundays, the Starlight always brought power that would be used on that weeks Goderich Job, which in this case is an RS10/RS18 combo.

CP detour #942 has changed direction after coming down the Goderich Sub (see pic 8078) and is now heading east through Bayview. It will get back on home rails at Canpa.

Some detours that resulted from the Mississauga derailment and evacuation came east across the Galt Sub to Guelph Junction, and south on the Goderich Sub into Hamilton. They pulled up into Aberdeen Yard, then backed around the wye and continued east on the Oakville Sub via Hamilton Junction.<br> <br> CP #942 is the first one I saw and is about to duck under Hwy 6 with RS18 8769 and three C&Os - GP30s 3046, 3006 and GP35 3537.

After sitting in the hole at Paris West for VIA #83 (see pic 8031), CP #903 continues on its detour routing over the Dundas Sub, putting on a show as only Alcos can.

Another shot of the CP detour with 4204, C&O 3539 & 3046, and CP 8731 at Paris, as they continue their trek over the Dundas Sub. Photo 8029 pictures the start of this trip.

The East Local sets out from Hamilton on a bright and cold January morning with GP7 #77. Most often it ran with one unit, but on rare occasions it had two. You'd never find a fan out in shorts on a day like this. Wink!

The east local with GP7 72, is returning to Hamilton after a days work. Once around the wye the hogger will back into Aberdeen Yard, drop his train, and return the geep to the roundhouse. Day is done.

Wide open and with exhaust smoke boiling out the stack of FPA4 6778, VIA #83 rockets past CP detour 903, in the hole at Paris West. Hard acceleration is common on westbounds at this location, but I had to wonder if the CN crew was putting on a show, knowing a CP crew was watching.

Detour CP 903 will shortly complete its ascent of the Dundas hill with M-636s 4729, 4713 and C&O GP35 3561.

Pictured is a CP detour that followed the infamous Mississauga derailment on November 10, 1979. CP 4204, C&O 3539 & 3046, and CP 8731 rumble onto the Dundas Sub at Bayview Jct. A CN pilot will guide them as far as London, where they'll return to home rails.

After the infamous Mississauga derailment on November 10, 1979, CP rerouted many trains via the CN Oakville and Dundas Subs, with CN pilots on board. Grinding uphill at Dundas, CP 937 is making pretty good progress with SD40 5530, M-636 4727 and C&O GP35 3561. Little did I know, Arnold Mooney was hanging on for dear life further downhill. See photo id 7903.

At this date, #321 was still a CP train I believe. In a little more than a year and a half, it will make its last run.

It seemed we were always welcome at the TH&B roundhouse in Hamilton. You just had to check in and ask permission to be on the premises, and it was granted. I don't ever recall signing a release. There was nothing like a warm summer night to poke around the stalls, take in the smell of grease and diesel, and admire the silent beasts awaiting the call to duty inside.

I've never heard anything that can compare to the unrestrained roar that emitted from TH&B's geeps as they crested the escarpment at Vinemount. It was like they were completely un-muffled. The best part was you could listen to them on their unrelenting assault for 20 minutes, until they finally crawled into view. They never missed a beat and they didn't let up until the entire train was on top.<br> <br> Pictured is an extra east with 72, 73 & 77.

GP7 #73 is in charge of an extra west at Slote Road in Copetown. It was rare to catch anything on the western end of the TH&B until the slab trains to Nanticoke started running.

I've often wondered if anyone at CN go their knuckles wrapped for this. Back then, it was bad enough to stab a passenger train, but VIA #86, with RS18s 3103 & 3117, is being held at Bayview not for a CN freight, but for CPs Starlight.<br> <br> SD40-2s 5925 & 5594 are accompanied by RS10 8564 & SW1200RS 8142, which will be used on the Goderich job this week.

In 1983, MLW (by then Bombardier) made one last all-out effort to return CP to the fold and demonstrated their latest six-axle offering, the HR616. Borrowing four that had already been delivered to CN, they applied Bombardier logos to the sides of the nose, and removed the CN logo. Other than that, they were pure CN. It was all for naught, as CP still had a bad taste in its mouth and was in the middle of a love affair with the SD40-2.<br> CP #937 is shown here at Staines Road, with Bombardier 7001, 7002, 7003 & 7004.
