Canadian Pacific; Sudbury, Ontario; July 19, 1969. There used to be a lot of interesting activity around many railway stations back in the 1960's. Sudbury was no exception. Budd car 9112 is working its way to the shop area having just arrived from Sault Ste. Marie. S-2 switcher 7092 is blocked in by an SW1200RS in the 8100 series making up its train.

CP 4724 was having a bad day!!! With something stuck open or closed, a couple of runs back and forth on one of the shop tracks at Agincourt Yard, Toronto, Ontario in run 8 with a full set brake, did not solve the problem. The unit was placed in the shop and shut down. Here is another view of the ailing unit: https://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=37047
