Railpictures.ca - Bill Purdy Photo: It was rare to find an SD70 ACu leading and it still is with all the troubles they have been having but as luck would have it, I got this one. It was getting on to dinner time when CP 7047 with CP 6239 finally made their way past the Third line and mile 75.1 on their northbound trip up the Hamilton sub. The shadows were creeping in and the clouds were causing some issues but when the time came, the sun came out. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Bang on good luck and excellent lighting. I guess seeing there is so little to shoot these days you deserved a break.
