CPR Trenton Division
Extra 8456 West crossing the West Don River approaching Leaside. Saturday,
April 9, 1955
Two new units 8202 (re# 5002) the first GP35 (GMD A2035 5/1964) and 8208 lead RS-18 8734 and a covered wagon past Don station on what is likely 928 the "Big Pig" out of John Street piggyback destined for Lachine piggyback terminal in Montreal just two months old and two months after opening of Toronto (hump) Yard. Thursday, July 16, 1964 John Mellow.
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. Doug Hately
#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 on weekends. |
