The King Road crossing at Aldershot East was once a good go to spot for catching eastbounds working the yard, as it wasn’t very scenic I didn’t spend a lot of time there, not to mention sometimes being told by CN police to leave. The triple tracking project along the Oakville subdivision put an end to hanging out here and King Road soon became an underpass. This day the chance to photograph an unobstructed rear end of SD60 5537 made it worth the trip as the cowls rarely ever led backwards. From what I recall 5537 was the only SD60 to receive CN North America paint. Sadly today all of CN’s cowls have left the roster.
