Showing the flag |
| Description: |
The maple leaf, that is. The first train to come through with CP power was this 42 car acid train, symbolled 700, which ran from Montreal to Baltimore. We see it rolling south out of East Binghamton at Shaw Rd behind a trio of CP SD 40s, power we would become quite accustomed to over the next 20 years. |
