As northwestern Ontario's fall colours turn, CN's last SD40 leads a sister across the bridge at Windy Point (east of Fort Frances) on a cool, cloudy day in 1983. Train 408 is operating from Winnipeg's Symington Yard to Thunder Bay's Neebing Yard with a consist typical of the era--40 foot grain box cars, covered hoppers of grain, and various other merchandise traffic. At this time, pairs of "international service" SD40s powered most trains, including those to the Duluth, Winnipeg and Pacific which turn south at Duluth Jct about 10 miles west of here.
