Comments on: Winter is coming!!! I find it hard to believe enough years have passed that there has been, since this image, a whole new series of 5500s (SD60s) and even they have been retired from the CN roster. In this photo, on an obviously cold winters’ day; CN 5505, 5588 and 5516 are heading westward toward London and I am sure I waited for them within the confines of my warm car…….as we could park in the Jct area back then. This series of 5500 GP38-2s were renumbered into CN 4700s in 1988. Note the middle unit is a wide cab. The far track is an old helper track; a relic from the Steam Era where helpers waited to assist trains up the long Copetown grade. It has long since been removed.
