Caption: Enemy territory, or well, what used to be. Back in the hot sweaty days of Summer 2025 this locomotive was sent to Parkdale Yard for a couple months to pinch hit for CN 7304 which was sent to Lambton in Sarnia for repairs. So they chose a former Stelco unit to switch the facility. In the background is Stelco's Hamilton arch nemesis, Dofasco - where until 2013 or so you could find locomotives swithcing behind their fence pictured as they had active dofasco track back there. If you're interested in more Stelco Hamilton stuff, check out Keith MacCauley's profile for more gold.

photographers note: for folks who know how to walk back here and many of us have been doing so for a while, just beware, there's an active encampment behind former Centre Mall and the pathways beside Kenilworth Ave. Have your head on a swivel, wear proper puncture proof PPE boots (steel toes if you can) and get in and get out.
