Caption: An NS train with CP power running over a CN line: NS #328 (the autoparts train that ran from St. Thomas to Buffalo) rolls through CN's Stuart St. Yard in Hamilton on the Oakville Sub, having come off the Dundas Sub via "the cowpath" at Hamilton Junction. Power today is St. Lawrence & Hudson (CP's eastern subsidiary/operating unit at the time) SD40 5532, NS B23-7 4013 (check out the stubby high nose), and CP SD40 5536. Burlington Bay and the York Blvd high level bridge add some scenery to this drab March scene.

Yard job in the east pullback too!
This is interesting. At first I thought it was a shot in which I met up with Bill, but no, not that particular day. My notes show that STLH 5532 and NS 4013 ran at least until the 27th of the month; but with CP 5431 as trailing unit after this day. Not often the same power made the rounds.
