The CP Galt Subdivision from Guelph Junction to West Toronto has always been very captivating to me, neat views like this are a reason why. BNSF 6105 (GE ES44AC, built 09/2006) shoves on the rear of CP 650 under the Dundas Street underpass in Cooksville (Missisauga). Visible in this view is a former CP Rail transload facility, however I cannot recall it's purpose and when it was abandoned. Modern skyscrapers that make up the Toronto skyline are also visible. CP 650 is a train of ethanol loads bound for Albany, New York.

    That would be the former steel transfer facility where steel coils were transloaded.

    Great shot! love that bridge too. The coil facility was a busy place well into the 1990′s until CP had the new facility built in Hamilton at Aberdeen yard. There was a second building located in the foreground but was demolished several years ago.
