Caption: A trio of GP40-2L(W) locomotives with their train under strict control are nearing the bottom of the long grade from Copetown, and have a couple of miles to go to Bayview Jct. Due to thick foliage, this angle over York Road is no longer available and is another reminder that trees are growing now everywhere along the RoW that they once didn't. Such the ominous sky over the hillside; a storm is imminent. No mistaking that. CN 9663, 9598 and 9546 is the power up front, back in the day that these Widebodies dominated the CN landscape.

Sigh! Memories
. Great photo. Its sets a mood. The train is probably 393 as I see the white Pacific Fruit Express refer up front which was common on 392/393. The refer’s carried grapes from Southern California to either Ontario Food Terminal off The Queensway or to the Don Yard where they were put on the “Grape Job” that ran on the Newmarket Sub just north off the diamond at Davenport to a siding just across from where the old CN St.Clair station once stood
After I posted this I realized I forgot to note the reefer. This train was daily and usually had a long string of these cars. Thanks.
I can remember 392 always having big MLW’S for power.Usually showed up after the GO train rush and set off at Aldershot
