Caption: A one time only occasion, CN GP9s 4533, 4579 and RS18 3104 lead a unit acid train along Ferguson Avenue, destined to the TH&B interchange. Per discussion with TH&B historian Lance Brown, this move is remembered by several TH&B pensioners, though the exact reason for the move cannot be recalled. On arrival at the interchange, the train was lined straight into Kinnear, where the CN power cut off, grabbed their van off the tail, and proceeded back to the interchange and onto home rails.

Generally, these CIL acid trains had an all CP routing from Copper Cliff or Falconbride to Hamilton, where the TH&B would take the trains for delivery to Niagara Falls or Port Maitland. Some of these moves can be seen below.
