Late Evening 911
After the reroute of overhead traffic from the Sault Ste. Marie gateway trains 911/912 were the only jobs on the Gladstone-Soo yard main. The schedule was seriously changed in comparison to earlier when these jobs handled St. Luc-Schiller Park COFC. 911 had been a 2AM job out of Soo yard and was changed to a 5PM call time in August 1985. It remained that way through the end of SOO operations up here in October 1987. This was fine in the late spring-early fall time period but about 6 months a year the train was virtually unshootable due to darkness falling before it would get out of Soo yard. The amount of daylight was rapidly lengthening when I shot this 911 at Dafter with 741 and 4402 leading 48 cars. April 25, 1986.
