Comments on: CN GP9′s 4590 and 4563 hustle westbound through Aldershot by Lemonville Road, with what must have been a single “hot rack” load in tow full of brand new Ford Tempos and Mercury Topazes from the Ford plant in Oakville. At the time CN’s GP9RM rebuilt program was underway, and trailing unit 4563 would soon be rebuilt into GP9RM 7227 later that year. 4590 would become 7065 in 1992.Bill McArthur photo, Dan Dell’Unto collection slide. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

Seeing these old GP9's, long hood forward, uncovered vehicle hopper and a van at the end! Nothing like a short train with priority!! Those were good days, great memories as a kid for me.
