A contrast in AC4400CW paint schemes - CP Train 241-28 - led by freshly painted 9620 with "Golden Rodent" 9588 trailing is westbound on the north track of the Galt Subdivision. On the south track, Train 247, who basically spent 8 hours doubling the hill from Hamilton with 8000' of train and ran out of time - has a fresh crew and is again, doubling back onto their train at Guelph Junction before proceeding east. Even stranger still, the RTC instructed 247 and a waiting 246 (back at Hornby) they would be swapping crews at Hornby - while this 241 and a 143 whizzed by on the north track getting the heck away from that mess. Strange days indeed on the Canadian Pacific Railway.
