Caption: On this late April evening I was at home in Waterloo when I heard an approaching train horn off in the distance. Thinking it sounded more like CN coming from Kitchener rather than CP, I made the quick decision to get on my bike and head towards the Waterloo Spur. Thanks to the days getting longer I had more opportunities for photos if CN went to Elmira after returning with the loaded car frames from the Budd Plant in Kitchener on the Huron Park Spur. As I neared the John Street crossing I could hear the distinctive sound of the CN local slowly making its way along the spur. Having a bit more time I decided to venture to William Street as I wanted get a photo there for the first time.
Here, the CN 15:30 Job with GP9RM 4134 is viewed leading two hoppers, three tank cars and caboose 79443 as it approaches William Street in Waterloo at 20:00 just after the sun had dipped below the horizon. The two hoppers were for Nutrite Feeds in Elmira and the three smaller tankers were for Sulco Chemicals.
