Caption: CP train 515 with SOO Line SD40-2 6617, SD40-2 5776 and M-630 4572 has uncoupled from their cars and are photographed heading into the Galt yard across from the station to lift loaded racks filled with new Toyota vehicles.
Built in 1969 by MLW, the aging locomotive had been retired in December 1993, then un-retired during May 1994 as CP found itself increasingly power short. Unknown to me at the time of the photo, was that 4572 only had less than three weeks left in service before it was ultimately retired for good on April 18, 1995, at St. Luc yard in Montreal, Quebec.
