Numberboard misfits: CP trains 547 (Right) and Train 246 (left) both with mismatched numberboards sit side by side at Locke on the CP Hamilton Sub - the former Toronto Hamilton and Buffalo Railway. 547 sits waiting for a crew and 246 is about to pull clear of the west leg of the Waterford sub wye to back into aberdeen with a cut of coil cars. Are the spartan numberboards a sign of Hunter Harrison's leaner CP?

    Great Picture Stephen! Nice to see a train with 3 SD40-2′s again. After seeing your picture. I turned on my scanner. Sure enough 546 was in the Welland Yard. Headed out with my father and caught it.
    Thank you. Bill
