Railpictures.ca - Marcus W Stevens Photo: Fond memories of busier times, I think this was the only time I ever caught 3 trains in a frame here. The morning hours were often quite busy up on the berm at Hamilton West, and typically VIA train 70 was one of the best VIA trains to catch. It often deadheaded extra train sets out of Windsor and this day was no different. Here VIA train 70 passes CN 391′s head end, while the CP local with a GP9U and two SW1200 “pups” have a lone car in tow for a customer in Watertown. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
