MLW Monday - CP C-424s on the Chalk
Author: feclark

Today's entry in the derby is the pair of 4250 and 4238 (plus sister 4212, all running elephant-style) on the point of #911 as it approaches Pakenham, ON, on the Chalk River Sub. The time is 1312 on April 2, 1983, and the wheels that got me here belong to LBC, having chased from Smiths Falls. We are on the shoulder of County Road 29 looking up at the embankment that will get the rails onto the bridge at the south end of town.

Good shot of CP's last C-424. Was LBC wearing the trademark leather jacket while driving the convertible?

Indeed; it was the brown jacket, as I verified from a shot at Carleton Place of a later #72 that day. I think the top was up on the car, and I can't remember if it was the blue or red one.
