Comments on: For a number of years Alstom in Montreal manufactured numerous SD40s and SD45s into what they classified as SD40-3s. In the 1990s CN sent a number of old non dash two SD40s to Alstom for remanufacturing. They later returned to CN for long term lease, the units traded their CN paint for a Coat of grey and GCFX reporting marks. Here we find CN train 398 with an all SD40 lash up including a pair of GCFX rebuilds along with a SD40 from both CN and UP. The train is just about to duck under Lemonville Road and pass Aldershot yard as it continues its journey to Toronto yard.

I’ve met a lot of people between Bayview and Aldershot over the years. I know we met up once at Bayview too. Reg Button used to park on that bridge a lot as well. I’m sure he is missed.

Maybe you long forgot I met you on that bridge? Parked up on it. There was no traffic. Not on the road, anyway……..

I used to spend a lot of time on that bridge
Didn’t take much to get congested there back in the day.

If you look just above the ties, you can make out a disarray of wood….I cut that tree down one night while a train was going by…so no one would hear me…
I used to park on that littel berm there and that tree was just in the way…
