CPR Trenton Division
A pair of two day old MLW C-424's 4207-4208 lead 8505 a passenger equipped
GP9 westbound, likely on their first trip. Note location of headlights
later lowered to front of the nose on account of glare affecting vision.

#919 8921-1806 westbound Mud Lake trestle Mile 27.3 Belleville Sub.
Sunday, October 16, 1994, CPR eastbound Detroit-Montreal intermodal
freight #508 is seen traversing the north shore of Christie Lake, Ont.,
near Mile 26 of the Belleville Subdivision. The relatively short 45-platform
train is being easily handled by RS-18u's #1831, #1826 and #1817. All
were retired in 1997 and 1998, and were not among those RS-18u's that
were sold to other roads. Bill Sanderson
NOTE: It is decades after new RS-18's first hauled piggyback trains
between Montreal and Toronto, yet here they are again back on the main
line hauling intermodal traffic once again and not looking at all like
typical smoky Alcos!
VIA trains did not normally operate on the Belleville Sub. but VIA
units did during times of power shortage.
GO trains did not operate on the Belleville Sub.
but, GO units often did.
