Railpictures.ca - Daniel Odette Photo: Two relics meet. Built in 1957, CP FP9 4107 leads the Royal Canadian Pacific special train with CP’s top guys on board. While the North Toronto-Summerhill has 41 years on the FP9, and these two have little historical relation, it reminds those of a time of what once was. While 40B-13 was scheduled to arrive in Toronto at 2am, I don’t think those on board were too fond of the idea, and with all trains having to make decent way for this hotshot, it is seen here ripping past Summerhill at track speed a little over 6 hours ahead of schedule. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
