Finally, after years of being evaded, or outright just missing the plow jobs across Southern Ontario, luck was finally on my side. After burning through two sets of power, 182 suffering mechanical problems having not even reaching McBeth Rd before being swapped for OSR 102. On the second attempt, a "loud bang" was heard, retiring the second set. Finally hearing "go warm them up", having the F units on a plow extra was a treat, myself not seeing them run since 2021. OSR made quick work of both the Port Burwell Spur and the St Thomas Sub. CN as well the same day would run a spreader from Stratford to London, unfortunately, not leaving until almost 16:00 due to a bulb issue...
