Switcher Saturday
Author: hoggerdoug

A slide given to me by Bruce Mercer and posted with permission. IREX 5 at the TH&B Aberdeen yard, Hamilton ON dated January 1973. The unit looks clean, perhaps repainted and I'm not sure where it was going nor what it's final disposition was. The train was most likely the CPR "Hamilton Turn" which would head up the CP Waterdown sub to Guelph Junction and then to London.

Nice shot in so many ways. The SW1 is really immaculate, and the handrails are quirky home-builts, it looks like. Plus the TH&B boxcar, and a hint of CP RS-3.
