CP 6705 at WINDSOR ONTARIO

Three boys look on as a CP 200 ton work crane tries to get the 6705 back on its trucks. The 6705 was loading a cut of cars onto a car ferry on the Detroit River (to the right) when word came from the CP yard (to the left) that a cut of cars had gotten loose and was headed downhill towards them. The 6705 cut away from his train and headed uphill towards the runaways. Once coupled to the runaways, the force drove them back and into their own train. The crew had jumped clear and were safe. The 6705 was rebuilt and put back into service. (October 7/70)

The lack of PPE (reflective vests, safety glasses, etc, etc) on the workers gives this picture some character.
