Comments on: Over the winter of 1965-66, Canadian Pacific once again had many units on lease from railroads such as the Bessemer & Lake Erie, Boston & Maine, as well as the Lake Superior and Ishpeming. Here we see two of the LS&I’s RSD12s (1804 and an unidentified unit) leading CP FPA2 4082 and RS10s 8593 east through Campbellville on a snowy day in early 1966.

Ron, with tongue in cheek – that’s why they had leased power ( those trailing 2 are d-e-a-d.

The question I have, why/where are they towing the trailing units? I know CP covered wagon A units can’t MU through the nose.

Definitely 4083 in script(Doug took a going- away shot at Guelph Jct); typo when entering the caption.

Mercer’s right…again!

I remember this day, it started squalling heavier as we were leaving.
The date is Feb 13, 1966.
I have 1804-1803- 4083 -8593 .
I guess to settle any discrepancy on that number, we’d need some expert on which one was in the script by this date.
