It is late fall but the hillside colours look pretty good. The lands look a bit cleaner as far as bushes and weeds are concerned compared to nowadays. It is late in the day as VIA #76 approaches the junction running eastward. Some rolling stock is evident in the new VIA colours, but old CN power is still in charge. CN 4104, a GP9 later became CN 4364 and then in 1986 converted to slug #240. Trailing unit CN 3100, an RS-18, was retired from the roster by 1992.

    That must be a “transition” picture. Was it common at that time for the locomotives to be coupled short hood to short hood?

    both these loco types ran long hood-forward on CN so this is a normal arrangement.

    I like the combination of units, plus the steam generator. :-)
