During my very first visit to Brantford, Ontario with my dad, I photographed what was likely CN laser train #238 passing the station with a friendly wave from the engineer of SD40 5045 that led six other units.

    Great capture! That was BIG power at the time!
    You also caught some now long gone equipment in the back tracks to the left. A string of CN white fleet boarding cars, a Pyke Model KL ballast regulator, and a 40′ steel red fleet Work Equipment tool car.
    All very distinctive sights and sounds from back in the day. :-)
