Count them: five MLW M420W #2561 – 2570 – 2572 – 2565 – 2525 westbound near mile 304 Kingston Subdivision - the approach to Whitby. Note the open auto carrier cars – and this view is different today. The six to seven year old M420W's will be renumbered (in 1986 ) to the 3500 series and by the mid 1990's many would be sold to shortlines, but all in this image will be retired by CN before 1998.

    Certainly is a heck of a lot different today!

    I’ll say. So much has changed, but that hydro pylon seems to be the one constant… and 2500′s still pass by daily, though of a less exotic breed.
