CN X431 with 2427 has completed lifting the power from the previous night's A431 at the Kitchener yard that consisted of 9675 and 9482. The trio is seen reversing on the mainline towards the east end of the yard by the crossover switches at Mile 62.14 Guelph Subdivision. Shooting an eastbound train from this side of the tracks at this time of day is virtually impossible with sun, so a cloudy afternoon such as this works the best, however getting any CN road power here is also difficult as 431 was predominantly nocturnal during 2019. While it was already good enough photographing 431 in daylight on this day, history wasn't far behind as CN removed these cross-over switches during the fall changing this scene forever.
