Railpictures.ca - Reg Button Collection; Collection of Bob Bratina Photo: An eastbound freight descends the grade from Copetown behind a CNR Northern, swinging east towards Bayview Junction and onto the Oakville Sub. Note the double track cowpath at left, single tracked by the time this 1953 aerial shot was taken. Compare this view to that of today. MoW siding gone, as are section sheds. Track materials still dot the area though. Though unidentifiable, the Northern in question is a U-2-h class engine, numbered 6235 – 6264, and identifiable with the single large dome atop the centre of the boiler.Click HERE for a 1959 view of a freight taking the cowpath to Hamilton. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
