A CP intermodal train heads downhill south on the Hamilton Sub with double the usual number of locomotives. The train is approaching the CTC section that begins at the Desjardins canal. The CP engines are a GE ES44ac and GE AC4400 with steerable trucks. The UP engines are both GE ES44ac that have UP designation C45ACCTE. The 7:51 AM morning sunlight was just high enough for tree shadows to be off the tracks.

    Where would these stacks be headed to?

    I believe this is CP 143, so heading to Chicago.

    Train symbol entered in the data section is incorrect, sorry. Insufficient clearance for doublestacks in the Windsor tunnel leads to higher mileage routing with more non-CP track.

    Why through Hamilton then and not a straight shot to Windsor?
