Caption: CP 9012 East, 420-26 has finally been given the okay into the terminal after holding clear at the airport for more than an hour. Initially the crew was to pull down through the yard (in the background) and cut of their tailend portion, but due to heavy congestion with a yard crew setting a "box" train (local CP slang for grain empties), the box train crew looking to get onto it's freshly built consist, empties fresh from the "Mission" elevators and the "Resolute" (paper mill) job looking to get out to the mill, along with a few through mainline freights the crew had to wait their turn. Now with a route the crew pull down to the "Bottom end of C-yard" to make their setoff, passing Western Grain in Westfort. Power: CP SD40-2F 9012- CP SD40-2 6602- STLH SD40-2 5651.
