It was getting rather late in the afternoon as CP's #522 rolled into Hamilton.  The image was shot from a little bridge that provides the entrance to Cathedral Basilica Christ the King, that city landmark that can be seen for miles by eastbound drivers on the Hwy 403. No engines on this train carry the CP banner, although SOO was part of the CP family back then. The leader 6604 was painted into CP colours around 2000. Later in 2016 it was absorbed into the company's ECO program. Trailing units, both leased, are PNCX 3012 and HLCX 4062. In 1995 CP was really heavy into leasing, having more than 200 units working system-wide, as new locomotive orders were just beginning to arrive.

  1. Nice. The high signal looks to be Safetran Systems “Unilens”, an attempt to complete with the searchlight signal. The “Unilens” did not provide the same light intensity as a searchlight signal and did not see widespread acceptance or use.
