Big MLW-ALCo CP 4709 leads a pair of Ontario-based Conrail (PC) GP9's, RS10 CP 8477, and train close to sunset. The first piggyback trailer has the Conklin Shows clown face logo (CNE midway, etc). Clues to the location are signs "Yard Limits" and "End CTC", a dwarf signal, and the elevated right-side background. Some experienced Hamilton railfans told me it looks like the "Starlight" train, facing toward Toronto, at the (north) east yard limit of Aberdeen. In which case, the diverging track at right could lead to the Chatham Street roundhouse area.
