Caption: Snapped just east of Lottridge Street, CNR northern 6262 brings a freight into Hamilton from the Niagara region, passing alongside Frost Steel & Wire Company Limited. 6262 was the third last Northern built for the CNR, being one of thirty U-2-h class locomotives built by MLW in February 1944. It would be scrapped just sixteen years later in February 1960.

Frost Steel & Wire, founded by Henry L. Frost, began their operations in Welland in 1898. The company moved to Hamilton in 1904, with their site at the corner of Sherman Avenue and Princess Street. They would expand over the coming decades, eventually giving them the entire block on Princess from Sherman to Lottridge Street. In 1926-27 the company would expand across Lottridge Street, purchasing the R. A Lister & Company Limited property on the north side of the CNR Grimsby Sub for their head office (250 Lottridge) and further manufacturing. An old loading dock remains today alongside the railway and can be seen in a 50th anniversary promotional image found here. Frost would shut it's doors in 2002, but it's former head office building still retains the Frost Steel & Wire Products Limited sign on the south side facing the railway.
