Canadian Railroads > TH&B Tuesday my contributionDate: 11/05/19 08:36 TH&B Tuesday my contribution Author: briancdn A freight arrives in the yard in Hamilton in Oct 1977 behind a trio of venerable geeps. Looks like a CP RS-3 trailing, but don't remember All of TH&B's remaining geeps (one was wrecked) would end up going through CP's rebuild program and emerge as GP9u's or GP7u's
And a pair of geeps waiting their next assignment I don't know what train this was. Brian N. Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 11/05/19 08:55 by briancdn.

The CP Rail crew would take a train from TH&B Aberdeen back to Toronto.

Anybody know the story? > Fred The GP7's were delivered with a hood mounted horn on each side; replaced by the more common 3 chime horn on the roof. I guess they just didn't bother removing the original horn on #74. I would imagine it wasn't functional at this point. Brian N. |
