Railpictures.ca - Marcus W Stevens Photo: It was often interest visiting the deep industrial core of Hamilton back in the early 2000’s, and for a period it was possible to catch both CP and Railink ex CN SW1200’s working side by side. I was t that lucky this day, but did manage to catch up with the CP job this day with a pair of SW1200’s. The 8167 was a personal favourite for me as it’s the only one I’ve ever seen with a snow plow on both ends. The majority still had their original foot boards. The two “pups” have just dropped their train in the small yard here and are in the process of heading back to the other end. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

I love shots down the lead with the yard goat somewhere near by.

Looks like some new build Canpotex hoppers from NSC in the background.

Marcus, this ‘small yard’ is Adams Yard – FYI.

The spur to dofasco and nsc was th&b built and gtr (cn) was given rights north of the former diamond of th&b in and around 1911

the National Steel Oar Company or in the alternative for an order authorizing the

owned spur, the construction of which was authorized by order No. 15294 with -which
the spur authorized by Order No. 17562 connects. (File No. 20519.)
Order made authorizing the applicant company to iise and occupy the said branch
line authorized to be constructed by the T.H. & B. Co., to the lands of the National
Steel Car Co. If parties fail to agree on compensation the same will be fixed by the
board. Order No. 17562 partially cancelled. See Order
