The radiator section gives the second unit away as an M420W. They’re moving quite a bit of yard power on this train, the GP9RM’s I’d assume for Oshawa Yard, and the SW1200RS’s for the old Oshawa Railway’s industrial street trackage up to the old GM North Plants amongst other assignments.

Beyond the long gone power in this scene, today you’d score a great shot of trees at this angle as it’s horribly overgrown. Really appreciate these great shots of the 80′s and earlier, so many interesting operations and power long gone.
