Caption: Going thru old slides, I came across this one. I honestly do not remember taking it. It appears I was driving southward along the parkway and saw that I had missed CP going over the old Michigan Central bridge. And, holy (bleep!) here comes CN !!!! It looks as though I jumped out and ran to get a shot, and if I have a follow-up image I haven't found it.
But the scoop is, a train on each bridge at the same time!!! The CP was probably a regular but the CN only happened due to work on the International Bridge in Fort Erie and this pair of 5400s was a resulting detour train.
All I know as I was down in the Falls as often as I had time to as the rail traffic on the Whirlpool was a rare thing, save for the odd local and the AMTK.

That is pretty wild….a rare event indeed
Damn, now that’s a rarity. Sweet stuff.
