Comments on: A pair of CP Rail GP9u locomotives lead their train east across Sixteen Mile Creek in Oakville. Presumably exercising trackage rights on CN’s Oakville Sub between Hamilton Jct and Toronto (Canpa). I read that this arrangement began in 1896 continuing for 99 years – after that things changed. A relic of CP’s maroon and grey era is the swoosh over 8242′s front-most radiator intake, for the yellow stripe. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

CP trains ran From Hamilton Junction to the Canpa so this could have very well been a mainline freight not a local. Locals did run past the ford plant all the way to Burlington West also.

I didn't think they went past the Ford plant in Oakville. They would come through Port Credit with a big cut of autoracks. Nice catch John. I didn’t think they went past the Ford plant in Oakville.
