Railpictures.ca - Glenn Courtney Photo: In 1981 Dominion Atlantic Railway did its interchange with CN in Rockingham Yard and could be counted on to show up almost every evening (Monday – Friday) with at least a couple of cars. SW1200RS has swapped cars with CN and is heading west for home rails at Windsor Jct with a single CN gondola. The train is at the west end of Rockingham Yard, running along the shore of the Bedford Basin. The McKay bridge between Dartmouth and Halifax can be seen in the background. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
