Comments on: Heading Home: One five hundredth of a second is insufficient shutter speed to completely freeze frame the Cobourg Turn – CPR 3033 west – accelerating out of the M of W foreman’s working limits at the west switch CPR Port Hope mile 144.0 Belleville Subdivision. Twenty nine year old GP38-2 3033, class DRS-20c, is assisted by twenty six year old sister 3114 ( a nice change from the constant GE parade). Over the years the Cobourg Turn (also known as the Trenton Turn) has been powered by a variety of interesting power such as MLW RS-3, RS-10, RS-18, even the TH&B geeps and …..(let us know what power you have seen….). Note the M of W foreman hi rail pickup truck in the Port Hope siding. October 22, 2012 image by S.Danko.

…will have to dig out the Cobourg Turn Kodachrome with the 8449, a single MLW RS-3 and a caboose of course !

In the early 80′s it ran with GP35s.
