Due to its regular route from New Westminster to Huntingdon unavailable due to bridge work, the BC Hydro eastward Valley Freight detoured over Canadian Pacific lines (Westminster, Cascade, and Mission subdivisions) on Monday 1975-11-17, and due to six-axle units forbidden on CP at Sapperton near New Westminster, four SW900s, BCH 907 + 902 + 906 + 910, powered that train, and it is shown here at CP’s Coquitlam depot and train order office JN (from Junction, versus YD in the yard office control tower in the yard) at 1500 PST.

Years later, that depot in Port Coquitlam was renamed Port Coquitlam to minimize confusion for Westcoast Express commuter train passengers, and that area is now an extensive commuter rail and transit bus depot.
