Comments on: CP C424 4210, CP SD40-2 5422 and GATX SD40-2 7367 lead a southbound train through Hamilton as it heads to Aberdeen Yard. The mid-1990’s was a great time to photograph CP with its army of colorful lease units as well as its remaining MLW roster running out their last years of service on the railway.

f.y.i I have a photo in the most recent TH&B HS magazine (can order a copy online) and it shows a picture of CTC in this spot, from aberdeen in the distnce, the double track mainline curving (as seen in right, but single track) and a low mast double aspect early CTC signal, photo is the 1940′s.

The early CTC signals were clearly replaced by the 50′s but they look rather.. interesting to say the least

Jamie, I have a TT from 96 and it show CTC from Mi 57.2 to Mi 60.2.

The next TT I have is date 1990 and It show OCS all the way to Hamilton Jct (just north of the Wye) where the Hamilton sub ended and the Goderich Sub began.

I found some shots online and everything was completed in the area by at least 2000 and the searchlights were standing by then.

Thanks Steve for the link to Arnold’s photo.

For GO project. 1995/6?

Th&B installed CTC in the 30′s on the Welland sub and removed it in early 90′s so these are the 2nd installation of ctc. GO paid for these.

Anyone know when the searchlights went in here?
