Caption: CN HR616 2116, one of Bombardier's short-lived line of "High Reliability" (hah) locomotives, leads a 2000-series C630M and 2300-series M636 on a westbound freight on the Halton Sub, seen crossing Torbram Road and advancing through Halwest (the junction between CN's Halton and Weston Subs) on the Brampton-Missisauga border. The Halton-Weston connecting track can be seen to the right of the 2116, as well as the overhead crane in the background for the MakSteel facility next to Malport Yard.

On the left, out of view in the field next to the photographer, there was once a lumber yard back in the 70's called Lampton Lumber with a siding, that has since all but vanished. There were once about four lumber yards in this immediate area of Bramalea back in the more rural days (see aerials here and here), all with rail sidings: Lampton Lumber here, Weston Road Lumber on the other side of the tracks to the south (still present today as Weston Forest Products), Malton Lumber (ex-Reid & Co./Lauder Boake Lumber) off Bramalea Road immediately south of Halwest, and Cashway Lumber (L.W. Larkin) that used to be at the present Bramalea GO station site. The encroachment of one-stop-shop big box building improvement stores such as Aikenheads, Home Depot and Lowes in the 90's no doubt contributed to the decline of the local small-town lumber yards.
