One of those "I'm glad I got this" shots... In a scene no longer possible for a couple of reasons, we find CP 9143 on the Quebec Street shop track with AC4400CW #9705. Not only have the SD90's been parked and put up for sale, but the track that the engines are resting on has recently been removed. Now seldom used, it was not that long ago that finding the London Pickup power, the Ham Turn power, or the yard geeps tied down (often all together) on the shop tracks. The remaining shop track is now primarily used for fueling engines or performing minor mechanical work while in transit.
