The unusual combination of QNSL 209, CP "Empress" 8921 and TH&B 77 has just brought in the evening 'Starlite' from Toronto and this view is of the power after it dropped its train. The van was dropped after power wyed and then it was off to refuel at Chatham St facilities, with QNSL now on the lead for return to Toronto. TH&B 77 was left behind.

    Didn’t take long for CP to give it a new horn, it contrasts a lot with the duller QNSL paint scheme! Nice capture of that unusual lashup.
