I think every railfan in Southern Ontario has a roster shot of UP 8506 taken that day. I’ve got a slide that looks just like this shot! There was lots of cool stuff in the yard that day, I recall on of the ex. NS high hood SD40-2s was there too.

I think you are right about that day Rob. I remember having to get photos of the units in between rushes of people walking around. Yes, I remember the former NS SD40-2 and CP 5646 was there too with the low “CP” on the nose.
