The train is coming off the "main" line from Fredericton Junction and going on to the line that crossed the train bridge to Devon. To the right is the track to the York Street station. This location was known as Una Junction.

CP 1831
Following on to my post about CP 8800, Brian Barchard supplied a shot of CP 1831 (the rebuilt CP 8800) leading a freight past the Beaverbrook Rink in Fredericton, NB in the morning of May 23, 1987.

CP 8800
Today's slide is a well-lit shot of MLW RS-18 CP 8800 in Fredericton, New Brunswick on August 29, 1981.
CP 8800 was built in July 1958 as the last number in the MLW RS-18 series for CP. As part of CP's RS18 rebuild program in the 1980s, it was rebuilt in 1985 and became CP 1831. Apparently something happened to it in the mid 1990s, as it was shown stored unserviceable in the 1997 Trackside Guide and it was retired on March 20, 1997 and scrapped.
There's a nice photo of CP 1831 on Railpictures, leading a train through Quebec in 1993.
