Railpictures.ca - MrDanMofo Photo: GM over GM< br> Rumbling over traffic (including a GMC pickup truck) on the busy Islington Avenue below, CN #115 with 8851 on point heads east after departing Brampton Intermodal Terminal and crossing the massive Humber River bridge (Mile 4.3 of the Halton Sub). Skirting the north side of Toronto just north of Steeles Ave, a stone’s throw away one can note CP’s MacTier Subdivision crossing just north of the Emery industrial area. Built by Electro Motive’s General Motors Diesel Division in London ON, SD70M-2 8851 was as good as it got in terms of new power on CN at the time. Alas, with the Caterpillar takeover and elimination of the London plant they’re no longer made with Canadian pride, instead in work-to-rule Muncie, Indiana at lower wages. A sign of the times. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
