Railpictures.ca - A.W. Mooney Photo: It is the CP/TH&B’s turn to run the daily steel train to Nanticoke from Hamilton, a job it shared with CN. The TH&B only had 18 locomotives all told on their roster so extra trains such as this meant bringing in power from CP or leased Chessies to operate them. In this scene, B&O 4801, 3885 and C&O 4828 sit ready by the Stroud Rd crossing at the far west end of Aberdeen Yard. The train will follow the TH&B Brantford route down to Waterford. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Track is removed from the street west of this point – and at this point – it’s fenced in. There is enough room for a single car and engine to use the pullback on the west end of this yard. At least the tracks is still here, right?

Just checked my notes. Yes, did chase for a bit but by the time the train moved out the sun was getting down. Took 3 photos of it on the move, the last one at “Summit”, in other words, not quite as far as Jerseyville. About 9 miles in all. Slow train up that grade from Hammy.
