Hamilton's CP Kinnear Yard is one of my favourite spots to watch trains in my hometown.There's not a lot of steady main-line action but there is usually lots of opportunities to get pictures of the switching activity in the yard.The yard power includes GP20 ECO's and GP38-2's which interestingly seem to be much cleaner than the main-line locomotives.This morning I stopped at the yard and was able to catch this action.

My father was employed on the Canadian National Railway during the 40's and 50's and I have always been looking for photographs of my dad while he was on the job.Thanks to Charles Cooper I now have some great memories of my late father.This photo was taken in 1955 and shows E10A Mogul #80 on train M233---my father was the fireman on that run that day

Ed: where did M233 run?
That's a wonderful souvenir.

Hi David---M233 was a daily mixed (freight and passenger) train that started from the James St. station in Hamilton and headed south on Ferguson Ave.then up the escarpment connecting with the Hagersville sub-division through the towns of Caledonia,Hagersville,and Jarvis.At Jarvis the train headed east on the Cayuga Sub-division to the shores of Lake Erie at Port Dover.Along the route this train did a lot of switching at the towns so it was a full day job which ended back in Hamilton after a 12 hour shift.This train was affectionally called "the Port Dover Granny"
