Caption: The northbound "Canadian" #9 rolls over the trestle at Parry Sound on a beautiful summer's day with VIA 6550, 6636 and 6632 the power. The leader has an interesting history; began as CP 4099 in 1953, then to CP 1400, to Nebkota as their #55, and back to CP 1400 in 1998 when it was painted up in tuscan and grey as well as being upgraded to an FP9 from an FP7. Unfortunately it was retired from active duty early in 2012.
