Caption: It’s not too often that I see SOR in Hamilton using a pair of switchers in the yard, verses just a standalone engine. It would’ve been really nice if, instead of 3840, they used the two ex. SP GP-9’s together, but I like that this consist is reminiscence of the “rainbow” days before G&W. It was obvious that both engines were needed by the effort required to move this string. At the time of this photo they were backing onto a cut of cars on the first track, which started roughly at the American Iron and Metal (AIMX) scrap gons you can see. Once they pulled the cut there was 20 or maybe 30 + cars in tow. Over on the left you can see the west staircase and elevator allowing (once construction is complete) access to the only operating platform at GO Harbor West (or is it West Harbour? I can never remember). I’m standing directly beside the eastern elevator which is also under MacNab St. I was kinda forced to stand under the bridge as it was raining at the time, but anything to get the shot! (Please note that I was a fare paying customer on GO at this time and the fences along the platform are only about 4’ tall, making them easily accessible to shoot over by legal means)
