Canadian Pacific RS18 8750 and C424 4214 are in charge of CP's Goderich Wayfreight, heading back south en route to Hamilton. The units are seen crossing the trestle over Bronte Creek in the town of Progreston (south of SNS Flamboro on the Goderich Sub, today part of the CP Hamilton Sub).  [Editor's Note: for a shot of the same spot today (not much has changed!), see Ryan Gaynor's photo here: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=10037].
