Cab Units: CN – ONR equally shared motive power assignment on the jointly operated trains #98 and 99, the overnight Northland.

The steam generator unit behind the second ONR F is coupled to a high speed geared CN GP40 (4016 or 4017) that Via leased for some time. In the background is the original Spadina Avenue overpass, complete with metal stairway to the CN Spadina Motive Power Shop. Upper right corner is the top of the then new Globe and Mail building. Spring 1977 Kodak Kodacolor II ASA100  negative transported by a Nikon Nikkormat EL. Photographer S. Danko.
