Back in 1973, CN was leasing power while awaiting its GP40-2LWs (deliveries started in March 1974) and receiving GP38-2Ws (delivered from October 1973 to January 1974--source: Canadian Trackside Guide). Here we have GO 9803 and 9804 leading an M420W (delivered earlier that year) through Hamilton on a Sunday morning. GO's GP40TCs were regularly assigned to Fort Erie or Sarnia trains on weekends in the 1970s.
