It wasn't often that the Starlite, even in the longer days, came out of Hamilton on the return trip to Toronto when there was still enough daylight for a decent photo. The glare of the sun off the locomotives can't be helped, but the result is still a pretty good image taken from an angle not often utilized at the Jct. The fact it was a bit of a hazy sky probably saved this from being a washout. CP 5733, 4712 and TH&B 401 is the power.

    Arnold, the kids call it “glint” and “glint” light is artistic now, considered as such. :)

    I like it! Thanks for sharing.

    Looks like a nice late winter day. One of those days when we start to think that spring may soon appear. I’m sure there must have been a snow storm a couple of days later.

    Another wonderful shot from Mr Mooney! Also noticed the third track going up the Dundas sub in this shot.
