Handoff
A few times a year CP interchanges unit grain trains with ETR. ETR then brings them to an ADM facility in Ojibway where they're transloaded to lake freighters. The train comes into Windsor as CP 340, but becomes T-42 for the handoff to ETR as it's a yard crew that boards for the move. The CP crew will pull through the crossover between CP and ETR at Dougall Ave as an ETR crew waits on the other side of the circuit. They then tie onto the rear of the train as the CP crew cuts off from the head end. It's a really cool operation to watch, and provides an opportunity to shoot something foreign on ETR's main.
Train: CP T-42 with CP 8553 (AC4400CW).
