Three CN GP40-2L(W) units and two GP9's are smoking it up as they howl by a lone passenger waiting at the old stone 1856 GTR Georgetown Station in the afternoon. They're working hard on a westbound extra freight, climbing the grade from the Credit River leading to Silver. Zebra-striped power, a weedy station track, GO single-levels in the "commuter compound", an old baggage cart by the station and some vintage autos peg this shot in the 70's-80's. Keith Hansen photo, Dan Dell'Unto collection slide.

    Great image! I was just there yesterday surprising this angle is still somewhat similar all these years later.

    This might have even been heading to Kitchener with the frame car flats. Awesome photo.
