The noon hour westbound train through Kitchener had the most varied equipment over the years that I was in K-W. There would be periods when it was made up of RDC's, then the MLW 3100's, and then the high speed CN GP-40's showed up.

    I remember the days working those London runs; up to 5 RDC’s, fighting the snow, waiting for plow jobs.

    JP. Sorry, I never visited Guelph, but I remember taking VIA through town and the pseudo-street running west of the station.
