Comments on: CN train 395 is viewed slowly rolling down the siding in Kitchener, Ontario to clear the mainline for VIA #89, which was due within the hour. Powering the Chicago-bound freight were SD40-2(W) 5336, SD75I 5629 and SD40-2(W) 5360. This was likely brand new 5629’s first trip down the line as it was released from the GMDD plant in London just over a week prior on June 2, 1996. Once the crew reached the yard, they would lift the loaded Budd automotive frame cars and await the arrival of 89 before proceeding west. In the meantime, the friendly conductor invited several local railfans up to tour the cab of fresh 5629 to get some photos. What great times they were.
