Original Toronto Star caption: Another victim of the deep-freeze weather; this CN locomotive was as helpless as snowbound car when it ran into a snowdrift that paralyzed a switch on tracks near Polson St. Ken Spenser comes to the rescue with a humble shovel. Other trains had their problems today and thousands of TTC riders were late for work.
