Here's my picture of HMCS 332 Ville de Quebec which was in Hamilton in the past---locomotive 7022 has the same paint scheme and numerals.

12/16/2020---I had read that one of CN's specially decorated locomotives (#3233---Support our Troops) was on train 396 that passes through Bayview Junction and also the Grand Trunk Heritage unit (8952) was scheduled on train 421 so I headed down trackside---another disappointment as neither of these units came through.However I did catch a pair of GMD1's down at CN Stuart yard to ease the pain a bit.

I saw those locomotives there today, too, but didn't have my camera with me.  Looks like they were in about the same spot, too, but that was this afternoon.

Hi Doc---too bad we couldn't have gotten together---I had to meet my brother who lives in the area and stopped by the rail yard on my way home.
I think one of those GMD1 s was switching in Guelph and Hespeler.
Haven't seen that train for a month or two.
Something very special on CN148 today---Heritage unit #7600.

A 4-stroke engined EMD?

This pair of CN GMD1's were built in the 50's but they are still earning their keep down at the CN Stuart Yard.
