Railpictures.ca - John Pittman Photo: CN 2988 with BCOL 4625, CN 5633, CN 8868 leads train 422 uphill east on the Oakville Sub out of Hamilton toward Aldershot Yard in Burlington. A couple of miles ahead the train will be cut, the back end tied down, and the front end backed into the yard at Aldershot East to drop and lift railcars. The signals at CN Snake where 422 crossed over to Track 1 can be seen about a mile back. Farthest track is the west yard lead. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
