Caption: CP Rail RS18 8765 is seen working Woodstock yard. With extra flags up, it may be building its train to head down the St. Thomas subdivision to the Railway City, or onto the Port Burwell Sub at Ingersoll. Built in 1958, 8765 would be chop nosed and renumbered to 1867 in July 1989, sold to the New Brunswick East Coast Railway in April 1998, and finally to National Railway Equipment in October 2009 for scrapping after the NBEC was purchased by CN.

Classic scene!
I suspect this train is actually destined for Zorra & perhaps St. Marys. The boxes behind the unit are typical of those loaded with skids of bagged cement at Federal White at Zorra.
