CP 5001, one of only two GMD GP30s on the roster, is seen switching out Canada Wire in Fergus at mile 25.81 of the Elora Sub with caboose 434020 up front. The CN yellow-doored boxcars may be for Moore Business Forms, located on the next block at mile 25.92. Opened in 1966 as Fergus Cable Limited, the site is still in use today by Nexans Canada. Keith had caught this train westbound at Belwood earlier in the day.Keith Hansen Photo, Jacob Patterson Collection Slide.
