Comments on: Nice assortment of power on this morning westbound, seen approaching the Fairchild Creek trestle a couple of miles outside of Brantford. End of train is crossing Power Line Rd. Power is 3237, 4121, 9195 and 3118. Leaders such as this C-424 were getting rather scarce by 1984, quite a few had either been retired or sold off.

Odd how CN spun those C424′s off early, but kept the M420W’s until the end…

Already youse guys are dreaming about laying out in the warm sunshine with the scanner to the ear awaiting the morning VIAs, the #148, the #332 and whatever else to come rumbling over that great Fairchild trestle. Well, I hate to tell ya, we’re only just into January.
Sharpen the saw and check back later……..

Nice Arnold! That was a great place to spend the morning back then, however I think it’s time you got in there with your brush cutter.
