Back to Basics
247 with a nice and simple, plain pair of toasters climbs the Niagara escarpment on the northern part of the Hamilton Sub.
An added bonus, to me at least, was the head end intermodal traffic not normally seen on 247. The suspicion was the nightly 142 intermodal train was over tonnage for the climb up the escarpment, and dropped the stacks shown here at Kinnear which was later lifted by 247. Catching a rare daylight 143 or 142 intermodal on the Hamilton Sub is always fun for me, so this photo of 247 masquerading as a late 142 always makes me crack a smile ;)
