Caption: Having spent the night in CP's Aberdeen Yard after the performance the night before at Kinnear Yard, the CP Canada 150 Train gets underway enroute to Toronto Yard. The train would encounter air and mechanical problems which would cost it nearly an hour as it returned to the yard for diagnosis and repair. Anyone who had remained at this location would have thus been afforded with two subsequent retakes at this shot. We had moved on, expecting to have to race ahead, so this was a welcome wrench for those of us trying to maximize photo opportunities. Thankfully for those involved with the train, there was no particular time constraint; the train was simply heading for servicing before the next performance the day after.
A couple of my videos of this train from the previous day:
