IC 100 & 101 and a 4 car business train arrived in Hamilton to lead a special train for Stelco from Hamilton to Nanticoke. Unfortunately, some bright spark decided that the Hagersville Sub. couldn't handle six-axle locomotives, and the business train ended up being hauled behind the steel train (CN 7080, CN 7012, six steel coil flats and then the four passenger cars). Classy.

    Did this run down into ‘the hole’ at all or did they originate the Steel Train out of Parkdale?

    Steve, I don’t recall where the train originated. I didn’t shoot it until it crossed the Grand River in Caledonia.
