Railpictures.ca - Stephen C. Host Photo: The Southern Ontario Railway, with leased/assigned CN 4776 rounds the curve by the guard shack at Stelco with a cut of NS family gondolas filled with steel billets. At the time of this photo, Stelco was going gangbusters pumping out raw steel while US Steel had for all intents bought the plant, the deal still in the closing phase. US Steel share price at the time of this photo (during acquisition)? Nearly $100. Today? $20 | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Note: 4776 was likely assigned to SOR as CN contribution to Steel Train. Steel train was joint SOR/CN effort and power could float between trains as required. I don’t think it was leased. Corrections always welcome please
