CN 1444 and CN 1437 head East as light power through Copetown West after giving CN 149 a shove up the hill. 149 stalled somewhere around Dundas and CN 550 was called out of Aldershot to assist them, getting to see two GMD1's working together!

    Nice catch, Joseph. When I think helper locomotive, the first thing that comes to mind are GMD-1′s – the archetype mountain locomotive ;^)

    Thanks Guys! Mike, when I realized that it was the pair of GMD1′s coming to push 149 I stopped working on my readings for school and headed for Copetown. I couldn’t pass this up.
