Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo GP9 #402 At Thorold

TH&B Railway GP9 #402

GP9 #402 was steam heat fitted for passenger service when built in 1954 and was rebuilt to GP9u as CPR1689 in 1988. My May 2005 photo of 1689 in Calgary

Operating in classic long nose forward mode #402 hauls a short freight through the Welland Townline Tunnel under the Welland Canal.

The Toronto Hamilton & Buffalo Railway was a wholly owned subsidiary of the CPR but still retained it's locomotives in its own livery. The TH&B has now disappeared and is part of the St. Lawrence & Hudson division of the Canadian Pacific.
