BAWX caboose 79788, which is former CN 79788, is viewed being shoved around the west leg of the wye in Galt along with a freshly constructed dimensional load by a CP GP9u. The caboose and large load originated from the nearby Babcock & Wilcox facility on the Waterloo Subdvision. Twenty-six years later and this plant is still manufacturing large components and is currently regularly serviced by CP.

    Babcock is stil in business
    the caboose was sold off.

    the same flatcars you see pictured are no longer used for interchange but are used for in plant moves at their site.
