Good Grief!!! A GMD-1 powering an eastbound?? Sure looks like it; but of course we know that is not the case. It is just another day on the Copetown Hill, as westbound CN #385 has gone thru it's usual "stall" and the word goes out to Aldershot to send somebody up to push. On this day, it happened to be GMD-1 1444 and GP38-2 4700 available to do the honours. Made for an interesting photo op, thats for sure. I was unable to view the power on #385 as the train had been dead on the hill for close to an hour by the time I got to Dundas Peak.
