    Wow…. no wonder this was photographed by so many. Can you explain what happened operationally?

    Thanks for all the comments everyone.

    Here is some background from a previous post of the same train on railpictures.ca.

    Your photo date would indicate this was a Sunday.
    Hence R320 would tie up here and not go to Buffalo. By this timeframe it was only M-W-F operation over the ‘ east end ‘.
    And since R321 had returned from Buffalo the day previous, then R321 this day would simply leave St Thomas ‘ cab hop’ to Fargo, where he would pickup all the traffic off the North end and continue to Windsor, and Detroit.
