Nice catch! I haven’t seen a GP9/slug set operate between Oakville and Burlington in the past decade or so… these sets are becoming more rare. I still see them regularly switching at the Mac Yard and sometimes they do venture out on L541 which serves a local industrial park but haven’t seen them go any farther than that. I heard that they are restricted to operate within a certain distance from the yard (I think it’s 30 miles) but I might be wrong.
