Railpictures.ca - A.W.Mooney Photo: It is the deep dark days of winter, but no matter how crummy the weather there is always a train to be found. Unlike some fans, I enjoy shooting in any weather. There are more moods than “sunny ways”. Here, on yes, a crummy day; the TH&B starlite (or, starlight, if you prefer) is Hamilton-bound with a nice mixture of power: CP 5539, 5734, 8745, 8146 and TH&B 77, 54. In the distant background I notice the tall smokestack. That is of the old landmark that used to be out in Aldershot, before it was razed for new homes.

Very nice Arnold! I have to chuckle though, that this is yet more evidence of CP hauling around empty intermodal equipment, a tradition that has continued regularly for decades! I understand that repositioning moves are necessary, but no one seems to do it more that CP.

Thanks. They do haul a lot of empties around; to keep the wheels clean ) but I did not notice it was any worse with them until you brought it to my attention.
