Comments on: Summer days, those long warm evenings where you could find sunshine closer to 2100… and I found the CNR Hamilton 1500 job with three matching 7000 series GP9′s working the TH&B (CP) Adam’s Yard in Hamilton. Dofasco is at right and where the Dofasco mainline once was stands a new fence. A recent visit I noted the rest of the Dofasco mainline is being ripped out around Ottawa St toward Depew. I hate November and December weather – take me back to these warm summer days! http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

The 1600 often goes to the interchange on Eastport Days with, at minimum, TTL cars (I say at minimum because I don't pay too close of attention to tanks so there could be others too). The night of this photo wasn't a typical Eastport day, but they did go there which is why I bailed earlier on. The Eastport trip would explain their later appearance on the interchange though. Lately, a lot of cars to/from Triple M are being interchanged as well - with the 1600 bringing the cars from Triple M to CP. I find the interchanging of cars for customers on the joint track to be an interesting nuance.
