Railpictures.ca - Unknown, Dan Dell'Unto coll. Photo: Canadian Pacific Railway G3g “Pacific” 2399 (built by CLC in September 1942, scrapped September 1961) flies white extra flags leading passenger train eastbound out of CN’s Sunnyside Station, exercising running rights over CN’s Oakville Sub enroute to Toronto Union Station.The train number wasn’t listed on this slide, and the train consist appears to be different than the NYC-TH&B-CP train #322 (New York to Toronto) that John Street-based 2399 often operated on. The date also isn’t listed on this slide, but it appears to be mid-to-late 1950′s. Perhaps one of the RP.ca viewers more knowledgeable about 50′s Toronto-area steam operations has some insight. Original photographer unknown (duplicate), Dan Dell’Unto collection slide. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
