![Recently I had begun to wonder what had happened to all the "recycled" locos? Today I got my answer with this long westbound with many tank cars on the front. The power was SD60 5472, C40-8W 2198 and C40-8 2123.](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/IMG_27851-200x150.jpg)

![Multimarks the proper way. Two CP SD 40-2 6018 and 6048 follow CP 6257 with their multimarks next to each other. The locos have just returned light from the tunnel and are seen crossing Dougall Avenue on this very humid Saturday!](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/IMG_26751-200x150.jpg)

![The reason I have used an older picture of an eastbound autorack is to relate the following cautionary tale. On Saturday 18th July I had returned from collecting my daughters from shopping and went to eat a sandwich by Galt Station, as I had done countless times before. A local police car passed by just as I had finished eating my sandwich. I decide as nothing was coming to move off to Brantford and drove down into Galt town centre where I was followed by the police car and "Lit up". He politely asked for licence and insurance and ran checks, whilst my car held up traffic. He told me the reason why he had stopped me was because he had observed me in a well-known "drug area". I was allowed to continue with no further problems but be warned! It provided my wife, who was not with us, with a great deal of amusement. I am sure she would have got me arrested!!](http://www.railpictures.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/IMG_2863-200x150.jpg)
