Comments on: …if you wait long enough… …anything can show up at CP Agincourt…. somehow MLW RS23 #8041 ( ‘ugly 80′) strayed from the confines of N.B. ( assigned to Saint John) and that ALCO, 1943 built, S2 is a ‘senior’ as of 1977 ( and those S2′s had the ‘ lumpiest ‘ idle imaginable) At CP Rail Agincourt, February 1977 Kodak Tri X negative by S. Danko what ‘s interesting CPR 7012 predates ‘ modern ‘ CPR steam power: all the G5′s / some P2′s / the T1c’s ( MLW built Pacific / CLC & MLW built Mikado / MLW built Selkirk ) 8041 and sisters became Windsor and Hantsport power ( and other sisters daily OSR power) 7012 retired by 1986 … from time to time a 7000 series would be assigned to the ‘Push’ , to assist eastbounds up the hill from Leaside ( North Toronto Sub east end ) through Don Mills , Kennedy ( Belleville Sub) to Agincourt – the S2 pulling power was something to see & hear: at Leaside, a single S2, would lift two 4700′s and their train while the 4700′s crew put up their feet and watched the show !

Great shot! And both units have mismatched trucks too.
