Railpictures.ca - Unknown, Dan Dell'Unto coll. Photo: It’s SD40-O’Clock at West Toronto as three of CP Rail’s many GMD SD40-2 units pound the diamonds heading westbound on the North Toronto Sub, crossing the double track mainline of CN’s Weston Sub and the CP MacTier-Galt connecting track. CP 6032 (flying white extra flags) leads 6030 and another unknown 6000 on the north track, while further back on the south track past Osler there appears to be a local freight approaching, lead by an SW1200RS. The old West Toronto diamonds here, dating back to the steam era, would see many more SD40-2′s cross before they were removed after the Metrolinx/GO Transit West Toronto grade separation project was complete in May 2014.
