Railpictures.ca - Stephen C. Host Photo: The Frame Train, otherwise known as the Sprint Train is in its final year of operation, this was the golden job on the London division, held by those with the highest seniority, two crews (A and B) would man this operation and run it every other day, except Sunday. A predictable schedule, no work enroute, and home for supper with the family. Built at Magna’s Formet plant in St. Thomas, they were used in Trucks built at GM Oshawa. How things have changed in such a short period of time. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Caption: A pair of 567C's growl in unison as the hogger pours it on leaving Galt, to reach track speed. The Frame Train, otherwise known as the Sprint Train is in its final year of operation, this was the golden job on the London division, held by those with the highest seniority, two crews (A and B) would man this operation and run it every other day, except Sunday. A predictable schedule, no work enroute, and home for supper with the family, no wonder it was the top job. Built at Magna's Formet plant in St. Thomas, the frames were used in Trucks built at GM Oshawa. How things have changed in such a short period of time.
