Railpictures.ca - David Young Photo: CN GP9RM’s 4108 and 7039 back towards their train of “bottles” on a beautiful winter’s day in Hamilton. Due to Stelco(?) shutting down their Hamilton facility (which would be temporary), they would move three “hot bottle cars” to Nanticoke along with one of their engines No. 85. The hot bottle cars were heavy and 5 “idler’s” were required between them. The move was run between CN and SOR crews. The train would back thru Bayview and head west up the Dundas with these CN units leading to Brantford. More photo’s of this unique move will follow. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
