Railpictures.ca - John Eull Photo: Saturday morning and the power from the previous night’s Goderich local (No. 88) has been turned and is being serviced at the TH&B Chatham Street roundhouse. CP RS18 8797 has most of the weekend off…it will head north to Guelph Jct and Goderich again just before midnight on Sunday. (Until about 1975, No. 87 and No. 88 operated six days/week; after that, they ran tri-weekly.) TH&B GP9 402 and GP7 72 look like they are next up. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

This takes me back. As a matter of interest, before the Goderich Sub was abandoned, the job was moved from Aberdeen to Guelph Jct. It than started at noon & went south to Waterdown North 3 days a week & north to Goderich on Tuesdays & Thursdays.
The RS-18 in this photo has one of the lightweight trucks at the rear. interchangeability of those trucks was more common on MLW covered wagons & RS-10s than RS-18s at least in the realm of photographs. John, you’ve taken countless photos of CP over many years and I’ve enjoyed them long before the internet came along, I used to see them in magazines. Thanks for this one too.
