CN 435 slowly pulls into Aldershot for a tail-end drop and lift; note recently repainted GO coach 2431 in thw new Metrolinx paint en route from CAD to Willowbrook. The trailing unit on 435, BCOL 4606 would require some attention from CN mechanical personnel slightly delaying their westbound trip. The train then encountered a bigger delay when it stalled part way up the hill to Copetown, when the 11,000 feet proved too much for the two engines. For the second day in a row, CN 551 would be called out to give the train a push up the grade. As Tim Allen would say, they needed "More Power!"
