Caption: Heading home on snowy Christmas Eve, CP 438717 brings up the rear end of a westbound extra freight as it rolls though the town of Campbellville, the tail end crossing Main Street as the head end approaching or already at Guelph Junction. The open bilevel autoracks in multimark and script are a nice touch.

    It’s crazy how much more snow there was back then…getting more rare to get this much snow now during the winter.
