Caption: Just over a dozen years ago I posted an image taken at Aldershot showing 4 GO units on weekend lease to CN. Comments were that "I didn't know CN leased GO" to, "are you sure this isn't a CP train over CN"?? as it did look rather unusual to say the least.
After all this time, I found a slide I knew I had that pretty much confirms this was a CN train and they indeed leased GO power for a time.
This image shows GO 9801, 9804, 710 and 709 powering a CN train as it is heading up the Halton Sub to MAC.
And it is late day on a Sunday, so I would assume they had to get this power back to GO in order for the units to be ready for morning. Just assuming. On the right is the "Burlington" sign before they added "West".

Love it. Snowy, late day Sunday afternoons. I’m sure quite the clean up was required to the exteriors of these units lol
