Railpictures.ca - Marcus W Stevens Photo: The Railink days were certainly the more interesting days. Railinks roster had a great mix on EMD’s, MLW’s and BBD’s. The railroad owned four M420′s and a pair of BBD HR412′s, the M’s spent most of their time assigned to Hamilton and Brantford while the BBD’s mainly stayed up in North Bay. This day the train out of Garnet made a rare daylight move to deliver a short train of tank cars to CN, with M420 3502 and 3508 bracketing one of the railroads GP35′s. The lead unit has its Canadian style air conditioning on full, LOL. Sadly RailAmerica’s takeover of Railink would bring and end for the MLW/BBD units, with the M’s going to the Hudson Bay Railroad, and eventually scrap. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
