Railpictures.ca - Doug Page Photo: Likely charging the air after doubling the outbound train together, the Starlight prepares to depart for Toronto Yard behind Penn Central GP7 5820, GP9 7429, and fairly new CP M636 4722. It looks like they weren’t able to wye the power and had to change ends, since the CP unit likely led the train to Hamilton (which was normally the case when a CP unit was added to assist PC power). | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

I would of marked this train as Penn Central or TH&B instead of Canadian Pacific, but this is amazing. If you have any more PC shots please post em!
