Just passing through!!! General Electric Alco S-1 switcher # 14 is shown at CN's MacMillan Yard in Vaughan, Ontario on March 18, 1979. The unit is a former Maine Central locomotive that was traded in to GE on MEC's U18s. The former MEC unit could be either 955 or 956 as both apparently were renumbered to GE 14.

After waiting for the better part of half an hour for VIA Number 2 to make its station stop at Sudbury Junction, this northbound intermodal finally gets moving again. VIA Number 2 had backed up to the north switch where it entered the siding to continue its southward journey to Toronto. The freight had the 3430 leading and mid train DPU 2912.

VIA number 2 was running over 5 hours late today which allowed me time to get to Sudbury Junction to photograph it. A northbound intermodal arrived and stopped at the south switch. A half hour later VIA number 2 finally showed up on the mainline and made its stop to board two coach passengers. It then pulled forward to make its second stop to detain a passenger from a sleeping car. The train then backed up to clear the north switch so that it could pull south through the siding to allow the northbound intermodal to remain on the mainline. Both trains incurred delays. Puzzling the way CN dispatches trains.

It is hard to believe that these 1200 hp little guys were purchased for passenger train service, were equipped with steam generators and were geared for 89mph. The 1904 is shown in Capreol, Ontario in June 1966.

When MLW units still played a significant role in the movement of freight on CN, a trio of them are shown on the inbound receiving track at MacMillan Yard on August 7th, 1983. The 2339 was the last of 3600 hp M636 units built for CN. It equals the horsepower of the trailing two RS-18 units, 3734 and 3118. I sure miss the variety we enjoyed back then.

The inbound power from CP Train 2, The Canadian, has cut away from its train at the Sudbury, Ontario station. The middle unit, 1908, will be set off while the two A units, 1402 and 1404, will be coupled back up and take number 2 to Montreal. The 1908 will return west on that night's #1. A yard crew will eventually take the 1908 to the shop area.
