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.
