Dave where did this train interchange to the cpr?
Steve: Just saw your comment. Train would have taken the loop track into CP’s Windsor Yard.
Thank you very much!
I worked the very first phosphate rock train from Quebec Street to Aberdeen yard in Hamilton. When these trains started up, they were assigned 3 SD-40-2s for their dynamic brake capacity from Waterdown to Hamilton Jct. We had company officials riding with us & a 3 page instruction sheet, when to apply the brake, how many lbs etc. Other crew members were making comments like “I hope your life insurance is paid up”. The empty cars being returned also ran as a unit train. These jobs were good for the east pool, we often ran van hop after setting the train off in Aberdeen, sometimes back to London, but more typically back to Guelph Jct & then to Toronto.That would happen if one or more of the following were needed in Toronto: crews, power or vans.
