SOR Train 599 - with its empty steel coil cars is passing through US Steel Hamilton/Stelco property en-route to SOR/US Steel Nanticoke via CN Brantford. This was near the end of the Joint SOR/CN Steel Train as US Steel has taken over operations of Stelco, and the blast furnaces of Stelco Hamilton would soon be shut down. As many know this steel train was the second coming of a train which previously existed approx '82 to '90 or so (on both CN and CP/TH&B). It is unknown if the train will ever return - this photographer is not holding his breath waiting.
