Comments on: Even the locals are a bit awe-struck as CN’s “Nanticoke” steel train rumbles up the middle of Ferguson Ave.N. in downtown Hamilton on its way up the hill thru Rymal, Caledonia, Hagersville and Garnet to the destination at the big steel facility on Lake Erie, about a 36 mile trip. Power this day is CN 9169, 9196, 9172 with a rather short train. Caboose at each end so power can run around train upon return. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

As a teen back then, it was a thrill to be standing in the vestibule of one of the coaches, with the top half of the dutch door open as we slowly descended the grade into Hamilton.
