Two Pups and a Rocket on the main: CP Rail SW1200RS 8156 and a sister "Pup" team up with an 8000-series RS23 "Rocket" on a  westbound freight (possibly the London Pickup) rolling over the North Toronto Sub on a gloomy day. The train has just crossed Davenport diamond in the background, and is heading through Osler to hit the West Toronto diamonds before entering the Galt Sub. A dimensional load is visible near the head end: a flatcar hauling an off-highway mining truck dump bed (that appears to be in Terex or Euclid colours).

In the foreground is the CP "S-Lead" to the old TG&B Bruce service track, that curved south and ran down the east side of the rail corridor parallel to the CN Weston and CP Galt Subs to serve a handful of local industries.
