    Well that’s a little different from what it looks like today.

    What are all those blue covered things beyond the carbon cars on the track at left? Some sort of bulk container?

    Six cabooses, actually (two on the Steel Train, one in the yard, and three on track AA30).

    As for the question, those “blue covered things” are containers which carried steel from Dofasco to a customer in Montreal, if I recall correctly. They were handled on piggyback/container trains 252 (loaded) and 251 (empty). The service began in the mid-1960s and lasted into the late 1980s (perhaps another member can provide additional details).
