Comments on: CP 6708 (SW8) switches out some hi-cubes for Ford Motor Co at the West end of Oakville Yard. At this date the CN and CP both had yard jobs switching Ford’s Oakville assembly plant. However, a CP engine did not mean it was a CP crew. Crews were just assigned whatever power was available first. CP crews did prefer using the CN power as the cabs were much nicer. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
