Comments on: Another reason you should never rule out a train as a “night train” was the story of this 422. Originating out of Sudbury at 4pm on the 18th, most were discouraged from seeing it given the typical ~12 hour transit time from Sudbury on CP. This was doubly the case when it was confirmed past MacTier at 8pm that night. The confusion that arose the next morning when it wasn’t in Toronto yet led to the realization that they tied it down in Buckskin overnight due to congestion in MacTier. Also noteworthy about this train was that the 6259 came up to Sudbury on a separate 421 to the 7032 and 7022, leading most to believe that it was just another unit for the Levack job. That plus the portable ditch lights that were installed 2 days prior made its lead all the more surprising.

Aberdeen cars and those bulkheads further back look like plat for interchange for CN for Empire Steel in Hamilton.

Nice composition with interesting power and back story. Looks like a very healthy amount of coil traffic too.
