Well done, OGuage. Thanks for posting.

Anyone know the story behind NS 5176? Looks like it has an extended cab and shorty nose.

Anyone else notice the front air intake on DME 6085 has a cover over it? What's the purpose of it?

Looks like you caught the CN/BCOL units turned around quickly on another train back north.

Enjoyed your pictures. Looks like the T27 pics were different days, with the same three CP locos turned around. 5024 is in the lead in the first pic, with auto racks first up. 5028 is in the lead in the other pic of T27, with a tanker first car. I'm assuming two different days for the T27 pics. Does anyone know where T27s engines turn around and head back? Where does it originate and where does it terminate?

T-27 is CP Windsor-NS Oakwood transfer job via the Detroit River Tunnel. Returns to Windsor under a different designation but same motive power.
