Pictured rolling off the CP Toronto Yard shop tracks is a consist that could have only been created during the mid-90’s. The consist was heading towards their train that was assembled on the departure tracks at the east-end of the yard. The unique lash-up included; VIA Rail 6458, CP 5608, VIA Rail 6452 and CP 4742. At the time power short CP was leasing anything they could. Also, the big 6 had just been un-retired during the previous winter when the railway had re-activated the remaining operable big MLW-built fleet due to the growing motive-power shortage. As well at the time, the company had a large group of Helm Financial Corporation units leased as part of their rapidly growing mid-90’s lease fleet.
