CN's Toronto Auxiliary is seen passing through Paris Junction enroute to assist in cleanup of a wreck further west. Here we see the auxiliary's "Big Hook" in consist: CN 50397, a 1957-built 250-ton Industrial Brownhoist wrecking crane, and the biggest of the big when it came to rail cranes. Note the CN employees riding its boom idler/tool car. At last check, 50397 was still on the roster but noted as being for sale.

The wreck the Toronto Auxiliary was heading to was the same wreck that the London Auxiliary was also heading to, pictured passing through Woodstock here: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=25965
