I'll take a cup of Tim Hortons - a photo on Flickriver

            Anytime I see a Canadian railroad I think of Tim Hortons coffee, also brought to us from our neighbors to the north. Tim Horton was a Canadian National Hockey League player who, after his ice rink time started at first a hamburger restaurant, and later a coffee shop. With lots of corporate ownership and franchise changes over the years, including mergers with Wendy's and Burger King, Tim Hortons has grown all over Canada and part of the U.S., and is now located in 14 countries and several military bases. 
 
At any rate, seen here is CN transfer L503 (Bedford Park, IL, BRC Clearing Yard, to Gary, IN, CN Kirk Yard, manifest transfer) slamming the Harbor diamond at Blue Island Jct. in downtown Blue Island, Illinois on CSX's former GTW Elsdon Subdivision.

Of particular interest is the trailing unit which began life as CN SD75I 5636, built by EMD for CN in June of 1996, and has now been rebuilt as SD75IACC 8318.
